Re: Programming: On and Off Season

I'm a relatively new programmer and this was our second year and the two in programming, me and another, have been mostly self-taught. We recieved some help on basics.

In the first year, with lunacy we programmed only a drive system and a motor-operated kicker.
This year, we investigated using the compressor, solenoids and using state machines. I have taken a look, but have not completly understood things like PID control used with servos to avoid jerky movement.

--From here, what is the next stage?
We really haven't touched any sensors other than the limit switch so im thinking that is the next step.


I have tried to get actual team codes (some teams posed their lunacy codes) which seem like better resources than just the example codes given.
