Just thought I would get some of your ideas and maybe how you guys teach your new programmers. I would appreciate all the input I can get. I'm trying to make it a s fun as possible for them so that they will stay interested and learn so that when our current programmers graduate we will have good programmers still around. Thanks

This year team 836 is using last years robot to help train our new programmers, working out the bugs on some of the programs that we couldn't get to work last year and creating a few new ones based on last years game, like programming the pneumatics in auto mode and using dead reckoning. I think the best way to teach and learn is to use the real thing. So if you team can spare a robot for the programmers I would say that would be the best way to go.
