Err ... Could you not add these to the repository? Maybe I got the wrong idea, but I thought the repository was supposed to be a place to find *useful* and *robot-related* code (ideally to spark either inspiration or recognition ). These snippets are useless to any team looking for some code for their robot, and hence would only clutter up the repository -- thereby making it a less useful place, as it would be harder to find what you're looking for.

I mean, really, the poster did say:

I've been working on some perty usless code that are more for fun than anything else, but oh well.
Also, I saw in another post that you asked for the beacon/tracker code to be uploaded to the repository. I believe that this would be a mistake, too. This code can be got in other places (it is on the FIRST website, afterall). Anyone going to the repository should already have access to that code, and hence, again, the unnecessary posting of it would only add clutter, and make the repository less useful.

I realize you are excited about getting a lot of useful code uploaded to the repository ... but more is not necessarily better. Especially if it is more uneccesary or useless code! Remember: quality, not quantity, is what counts ... especially when programming. Perhaps I mistook the purpose of the repository ... but it doesn't seem to me like there is a need for a repository of random, un-related and un-useful pieces of code.
