I understand the enough to make the robot complete basic functions but now our mentor in programming has retired and i have been left alone. If anyone could help, it would be deeply appreciated. T
Thanks and much love, Amanda

Hi Amanda,
I'm one of the Mentors for team 1147, "The Herdinators" from Elk Grove.
Talk about turn of events. Your retired mentor saved our bacon at last years Sacramento Regional. We had no one who knew programming. We needed to make a simple modification to the default program, but had too little understanding of C to do it. Your mentor came over and worked with us for a hour or so, and with his help, we got it working exactly as we needed! I've run into him a few times in the community and each time I can't stop thanking him for his help.
Since that time, I've spent quite a bit of time learning C. I don't even consider myself a good programmer, but I understand enough that I can make some "magic" happen. There are some incredible programmers here on CD, more wealth of knowledge and resources than you'd imagine.
All this is to say, I would love to help you out as much as possible. Anything I can do to help, just ask. You can send me an e-mail, IM, or just post it here and I will do all I can.
