Re: Programming - Getting Started

  • It's not ANSI C! It's funk-a-delic emaciated C!
  • Kill switches are not the way to go, IMO, "Live" switches are. Add some code such that if the trigger on your joystick is not depressed, the bot doesn't move. This way your driver just has to let go. How did I learn this? When Robots Attaaaaaack!
  • Remember: That piteous mass of metal that the build team insists on fawning over is little more than a glorified RC car without you. You are gods amongst sniveling wretches!!!
  • Err... Um... Don't let programming go to your head
