Re: What do you think about how easy theyre making programming?
I think this is great. As time goes on, and as we FIRST students become FIRST mentors, higher and higher level programming languages (ones that are closer and closer to being exactly like language) are going to become a lot more common. FIRST is giving us one of these, except it only has two built in functions. It's an entirely different experience, and if you don't want to use it, you don't have to. Would you rather write code in binary than assembly? Rather write in assembly than C? The same principle applies here. I think this is great for the rookie teams because, as anyone who attended competitions last year, not many teams were able to have a functioning autonomous. THis is making it so that everyone has at least something for their autonomous mode.
