Re: Summer Labview Challenge 1

As we went through your challenge we solved each step. Then I added one more challenge to make sure that you could not get yourself into the condition to have a fault. If you delete the event structure you will find that the code does exactly what you challenged. I am just trying to get my students to think about the whole problem and not just solve the answer. If there is a condition that can put you in a fault can you prevent it? If so do it.

We should always be thinking about a way to make our software repeatable, easy to expand, efficient and as error proof as possible. We need to think of how the operator is going to use the software and then watch them and see how they really use it. We improve the robot all year long so I challenge the programming team to make the code better all year long.
