Re: programming prep

The above warning noted, programming concepts are pretty much universal as is the thought process of developing an algorithm. It all depends on what experience the people you are teaching have. If they have experience in other languages often they can pick up C relatively easily. I have found that most people don't struggle as much with the syntax as they do the concept of programming in general. My suggestion to you is to develop algorithms and other things to use. Even if the control system next year changes the whole thing you gained some experience. In FRC there is no such thing as bad experience as long as you learn from it.(Yes getting hurt sucks but you LEARNED did you not?)
