Re: Making autonomous accessible to all teams
I honestly believe that if a student who is brand new to programming has the motivation to learn, then they can learn how to program an autonomous. Motivation and guidance through even one programming mentor can help you accomplish so much.

I know for a fact that our swerve program would not have been possible without the guidance of our programming mentors.

I don't think more resources are needed for kids to fulfil these tasks, they need motivation and support. New kids on our team learned C and Java in three weeks prior to build by making their own effort to read hundreds of pages in C and Java manuals.
