This is a point of view that has always annoyed me. How many different ways are there to write the code to drive straight or integrate the gyro? Why is it that nobody, except Kevin, steps up and actually DOES something about it? Instead of saying "I can't compete because you don't give me enough" why aren't more people publishing these solutions? This is a breakdown in the community, not in FIRST.
