Re: god...im such a noob...

Any C tutorial you can find online will help you to learn to understand the code.

the easiest way to learn is just to build the vex square bot (step by step directions come with the kit) then just play around with the code. If something happens that you didn't expect post it here or as one of your teams programmers. Start with easy things like making it go forward then back wards or turn. Once you have that working you can start to add in sensors. This is what I did, except with the edu bot and in a couple of months I got to the point where I could write all the code for the robot. Once you get a good base you will see you abilities evolve quickly. Don't give up on it and don't worry if you have a question that you think is "stupid" post it any way, there are alot of good engineers on here and alot of HS and College students who were where you are now not too long ago. It makes more sense to ask us a question that we can explain in 5 minutes than to spend days trying to figure it out.

Good luck

James
