Team 1350 has had a few programmers over the years, my friend Marco the most prominent of them (he was the lead and only programmer for that year), and I helped him lead the team programming last year. Since we were the only ones who had significant experience in C (or any language, for that matter), we did all the code for that bot. He wrote the majority of the base, since I had never written for embedded applications before; although in the last two months I caught up and wrote the autonomous code we used in Atlanta and by the end, I was able to successfully manage the source in case Marco dropped off the face of the earth
We are both self-taught C programmers, and we took the same Java course at our school (which we gained very little from, since it was much more of a beginner's class than anything). This year I am mentoring the team and will be helping them learn C before January, since none of them have enough experience yet to code the bot on their own. It should be an interesting and fun year
