Re: NRG Code Repository

Might I suggest a directory structure of some sort? By no means, I'm not saying I know what would be a good structure ... but certainly some directory structure might help. Perhaps you could group it by input: a directory for controlling robot features using a pot, another using limit switches, gyros, encoders, etc. Maybe a special directory for autonomous code. Maybe a directory for code to control driving, and another for other elements of the robot.

The directories would, in my mind, help people to know what to contribute to the repository. Certainly short snippets that, say, lift a robotic arm via some switch, or control a gripper via pots, would help in training people to program the robot -- if they are sufficiently well-written, and well commented. The project sounds like it has potential.
