Hello all
I had some extra time on my hands and I was just wondering about this idea that I had. I was thinking that it would be great if there was one central place for teams who needed assistance or ideas for programming the FRC or "Robovation" bot to go and find code examples. For example if a team wanted to learn how to code a certain type of encoder they would go to the site, click on the link to the library and either search for code examples on the part or click on easy to navigate links that would take the person to code examples submitted by teams all over. Or if a team needed inspiration on where to go next with their control code, they could just hop onto the site and browse through some nice examples. Anyone who wanted to submit an example would just register with the site, log-in and start uploading examples to our web space.
First off, does something like this already exist? I searched the CD forums and it didn't look like it.
Second, If I did make this website would the idea be well received? would anyone use it?
Third, I thought of a few potential problems such as a team neglecting autonomous until the day before the competition, just going on the site and stealing someones code that was meant to help teams get a better understanding of how to do things, but this is no different then people going onto CD and doing that. What other problems would you guys see in this?
