I have to say this topic has me scratching my head. I know just next to nothing about programing. My skills are in the nuts and bolts of things and quick fixes that get the job done.
I've been struggling to learn some C programing. Info here and from the young people I've work with have begun to help me understand programing.
I would hope that FIRST would take things slow and thoughtful before changing the programing languish .
I'm sure I'm not the only one that feels like a blind man in a room full of sharp objects when it comes to programing.
I would love something where all your would have to do is type:
Robot go forward 20 feet, turn right 90 degrees, go forward 10 feet, stop.
And it would do just that.
I know its a dream but its my dream so hey...
Your never too old to learn new tricks, but some old dogs just take longer to learn them.
Well thats my 2 cents on this.
