Programming! Rookies & veterans alike need a real programming course in pBasic. In fact, I believe that it would be wise for a team with a real pBasic knowledge base to make a big ol' interactive multimedia tutorial CD and distribute it at the kickoff or through the mail. A CD with a pBasic terms manual won't cut it; we already get a pBasic manual. I'm seeing something along the lines of a CD with a Powerpoint, user-friendly deal in *.exe form, with graphic, text, voice, and interactive features. You know, one of those things somebody spends a month on. Also, the pBasic programmer should be there, with its own share of tutorial Powerpoint *.exe, and the 2002 standard and one-hand control programs. Kinda set up like a 'For Dummies' book. You have to think simple but thorough If a team is out there with the funds and time to do something like this, it would better everyone in the competition.
