Re: Rookie team lost only programmer and need help.

Given that you're at the end of week 5 with no programming done, you need to take stock of your resources. Do you have anyone who knows anything about programming in C, C++, Java, Python, or Labview? If so, use that language. If one of the first three, go through the screenstepslive pages for the language; they'll show you how to set up a tank/arcade style drive and even control some fairly basic arms and intakes. They even have some full-up samples ready to drop onto a robot if you're willing to wire to the same channels they used. National Instruments has similar resources for LabView. I'm not familiar with the Python resources, but I know they're out there. You should be able to get through the basics based on these tutorials and then come back to CD or another support site with more specific questions.
