Re: Who Has Programmed From Scratch?
Being a SW guy myself, I can understand your frustration when everything else still has issues, but I'd encourage you to focus it in a more positive way.

Perhaps you can approach your mentor with some projects that you can work on that will not add too much risk to the robot. For one thing, you can easily make alternative code that you can test against the built-in. When yours is better and you convince your team and mentor, you can switch over. You can also switch back if you discover issues with yours.

It is pretty safe to develop a nice dashboard to give the drivers more info. And if you don't have an autonomous routine, yet, that is like the SW freebie. Figure out a way to score from at least the front field position in auto.

And good luck.
