Re: Open-source FRC code

I like the idea of open-source code. It can and will stimulate learning. While all teams need to write fresh code every year, they don't necessarily need to reinvent wheels. I think if enough 'elegant' code is posted, someone might even write a book based on it, much like 'FIRST Robots...Behind the Design' by Vince Wilczynski and Stephanie Slecycki.
