Re: Want easily programmable Autonomous Modes? Introducing Build An Auton! (Closed Be

I love this, but I've always had a bit of an issue with graphical programming solutions.

I kinda find its "cheating" in a way. I *like* having to deal with issues and frustrations that come with traditional text-based programming, like syntax, variable scope, etc. I also find it a better learning experience. Also, I feel more satisfaction when it works.
For example, with vision, I know I could use GRIP to make some working vision quickly, but I wouldn't have learned as much as I have about vision if I hadn't used OpenCV with C++.

But don't get me wrong, programmes like these are great.

Anyone else with me on this?
