We started the year using EasyC PRO to code our robot, but ending up writing the vast majority of it in the text editor using
WPIlib (aka the backbone of EasyC). Our robot has full PID sensor-feedback and control loops for every mechanism on our robot, and we have an autonomous mode that drives out (and uses all its sensors for drift correction, exact distances, accident prevention), scores on the rack in a drive-by maneuver, and then stops on the other side of the playing field,
without dead reckoning.
I don't think our team ever would have even attempted something as 'advanced' as this before EasyC PRO/WPIlib came out, as this was our first robot (out of our nine) with 100%-complete sensor feedback and absolutely no dead reckoning.
