Programming teams

One of these threads...

Our team is always short programmers.For the first time in over 4 years, we had another programmer besides myself on the team that co-programmed the robot with me. Granted we always have 4 programmers beginning every year, the other three usually give up after the third day and switch to assembly.

We have three programmers and a couple mentors, but the mentors are usually busy with other subteams. We're using SVN for version control.

I'm the only one, but we do have an underclassman "in training".

Currently I am the only programmer for the past two years (we were a rookie team last year). However, after the competition I will train a junior before I graduate so our team isn't at a disadvantage next year. After a flash drive problem a week ago, I have switched the code to a dropbox folder, which should provide collaboration for the future.

I have typically had around a week to program the robot before ship date, so I can get most of the code working, and tweak it before competition. But as I like to say, Thursday is first day of competition AKA last build day AKA first day programmers have time with the robot.
