This brings up another great resource. Find a team in your area and try to get in touch with their programmer(s).
Yes, there are tons of willing people here, but communication in text often loses something. Plus, asking "I need to have our robot follow a line" often results in just straight code (heck, that's what I do), which may or may not even work for your robot setup. The other problem with someone just giving out code is that you often don't learn the thinking/algorithm behind it.
A person you can call and ask to come over (or go to them) can be a great resource because they'll be able to talk you through what you're trying to do in a way which isn't possible in AIM or on these forums.
The point is, make sure that any help you get actually helps you, not just gives you a crutch. If someone gives you code with no explaination (and it's not dead obvious
), then ask for one. Learn.
