Re: how much time to Program
This year we planned to finish the robot 2 weeks before ship date. One week for programming and one for coding. This didn't really work too well and we didn't have very much time with our finished robot to program.

We didn't have enough time to get any type of autonomous code written (well, there was some code written, but it didn't work well enough to bother using and we didn't have time with the robot to debug it). Our arm (forklift style) would move faster when the joystick was closer to center than when it was pulled all the way back, but we didn't have time to fix that either.

Next year I think we'll definitely try to get a lot more time with the robot.
