Re: Need Beginner Programming Tasks

I would suggest setting up a test bed with a functional RIO, PDB, VRM, RADIO, joysticks and motor controller(s). Have them achieve tasks like. make a motor spin, make a motor spin forwards and backwards and stop. make a motor spin until a limit switch is tripped. or other thing that you are thinking about having your robot do.

TO a programmer having a testbed to test actual code is extremely useful!!

best of luck!
