WOW!!!
Chuck, where do I begin??
First with me. 2005 is my rookie season. I am one of our teams mentors and their Engineer. Until this year, I have had ZERO programming experience. Consequently, we had no autonomous mode this year, but with a little help from another local team at the Sac. Regional, we were able to get a minor modification to the code completed in time to compete.
Sense that time, I have poured of the FRC code, read the 2004 programmers guide and read "Absolute Beginners Guide to C" by SAMS.
Now I "feel" comfortable enough to start working with C, and teaching our students. As you might guess, I could use any and all the tools mentioned in this thread. I have come up with several ideas, written a few mods, but have yet had a chance to test them. This environment, and the others mentioned, could be the key to our teams (and countless others) future success.
My goal is not to do the programming for this team, but to kick start some young minds and help them see what
they are capable of achieving.
If there is any input I can add, help I can provide or just encouragement, please let me know! I think this is awesome!
