Re: [FVG]: Controls Round B1

the point and click mode and have the robot follow and do stuff automatically doesn't seem like a good idea... why not just have the keyboard do it all.... sure the analog things would end up being digital things because the keyboard is on or off (1 or 0, digital). but i was actually picturing this from a First Person POV from the drivers box. And the user could program what ever buttons to do what ever they wanted, and if they had a joystick (or two) they could use that, so it would be like you are actually controlling that bot, instead of just kind of moving it around and having stuff get done automatically, thats not what FIRST is like at all.

By the way, i am starting the programming course tomorrow (the 7th) i think it goes for most of the summer... but i have no idea what language we are learning (it will obviously be c or a varient, whether its C, C++ or obj-C i have no idea, i hope C++ or obj-C)
