Build an Auton is a graphical interface made by team 834 to create autonomous code for FRC robotics in an easily accessible fashion similar to LEGO's drag and drop NXT programming. The program is already fully functional, and was used at our latest pre-season competition.
Eventually, we'd like to make it open source and release it for all teams to use, perhaps even before the end of Build Season 2017, but there's still a lot of work to be done. Setting the program up need to be streamlined, and there's still potential to make the program even more intuitive. The end goal is to make the program so consistent and easy to use that a team can use it to program an autonomous mode for a given situation while in queue.
We're currently accepting applications for the closed beta, and are looking for teams with extensive Java experience as well as newer teams who have previously struggled with autonomous code. You can apply here:

I hope some of you are as excited for this as we are, and we'll be looking forward to your applications!
