Re: What do you think about how easy theyre making programming?
I like it. It gives you more time to come up with complex situations rather than spending a week figuring out mathematical complexities. Plus, you can worry less now about whether or not your robot ACTUALLY drives perfectly straight. It also makes life easier for the rookie teams that may not have the knowledge they need for previous FIRST programming. And, like Dave said, it let's teams mingle, trade, and combine code for an even more astounding autonomous period!
I remember watching 67 last year at Nationals and wanting to know how they wrote all their coding. This enables the students that don't REALLY speak programming to understand everything that's going on. In essence, it gives everyone the ability to be a programmer.
