By the end of this years season, I had taught myself SolidWorks and am now making this.

Had I told you guys that I was going to go off and teach myself CAD, would you have said "It's to big of a challenge. I wouldn't even consider it", or would you encourage me? Because it seems that you are all saying that you would just discourage me.

That being said. I wish I was a programmer, I would love to join you guys in taking on the daunting task. I wish you the best of luck! Keep on inspiring yourselves!

(P.S. Nothing is impossible. )
Never too late to start programming, honestly, with FIRST oversimplifying the libraries, you can pick up programming the cRio in less then a week to be honest with you. But if you want to get really deep into programming, it takes lots of practice.
