Understanding the Autonomous.vi

[Greg McKaskle]

You've given this advice several times, and I'm not sure that it is as helpful as you think it is. A number of the techniques you are telling others to program are demonstrated by the default code. If you want to give advice on how to improve or simplify auto code, I think that would seem far more helpful.

Congratulations if you are capable of writing the code from scratch, but not all teams are. Keep that in mind when giving advice.

I completely agree with Greg. You keep giving the same advice as if each team is capable of carrying it out word for word. Some teams don't even know how to deploy a project, let alone re-write a whole vi.

on topic - I would suggest watching the frcmastery video and then reading the paper. The frcmastery really helps A LOT when understanding what the heck is going on in that code. We got ours sort of working, just have to tweak it now .
