Re: FRC too easy...we're done :)

The students were driving around the track at ludicrous speed yesterday, seeing how many laps could be done in two minutes. The Software group* has some code ideas for making the turns a little more coordinated. But since we want to be more than a rabbot(tm) this year, we've got quite a bit more work to do.


* Yes, there's a TechnoKats Software group this year. Multiple students have actually had their fingers on the keyboard and mouse, creating code for 1) the tabletop programming testbed, 2) a pneumatics demonstration setup, 3) our Mecanum drivebase, and 4) last year's practice 'bot/T-shirt cannon. Our previous student programmer graduated last year, but he's been visiting the shop regularly during his extended semester break, and he did some tweaking to our 2007 competition 'bot code as well.
