Re: Last Minute Programmer - Need Help!

(Why do I get the strange feeling his next question is going to be "Default code? What's that?")

OK, it depends on what you're most comfortable with, but if time is of the essence, not elegance or finer control, then consider Easy-C. You can literally write joystick control for 2 or 4 Victors plus some random controls for Spikes in less than 15 minutes.

It is drag & drop, with just some simple parameterization.

On the other hand, with a complex bot, you run out of flexibility soon enough.

On Thursday morning at VCU, the first thing you must do is go to Pit Administration and send an announcement for "Major programming help", you'll get a few good offers, and at least get the bot rolling while you learn and code the finer points.
