Agreed, It was what we had already. I been working with two first year freshmen kids that wish to be programmers. Team has/had a Senior member that has been MIA all preseason and I'm not banking on him for the build season. No major loss to the team only his expanding knowledge since the team has rarely used any feed back devices on past robots because they simply could not get them to work or didn't know how to use them. This year is new and exciting I can see in the Veteran students and mentors eyes they are excited with all the new functionality of using feedback and if the senior shows up I with the Freshmen can get him caught up on everything he missed.
