Programming teams

[kenavt]

On Team 2337, we have three people who know programming. There is the main programmer, our pneumatics expert who primarily does programming but not as much as the first guy, and myself, who is basically in-training. (3)

There is another person who primarily does the electrical systems, but the three of us chip in when necessary because two of us started with electrical systems, and then moved on to programming. When the electrical board has to physically be put together, many people from the mechanical and off-robot sections help. (1+)

For mentors, we have two former team members in college, both of whom do programming and electrical work. They rarely come, however, because they are rarely needed. We used to have a professional mentor, but he had to quit do to job demands. (2)

On our team, we find this is enough to get things done. We could automate more things, or make our autonomous programs more complex, but we are adequate for the moment.

At the moment, we don't have a collaboration system set up, other than passing around files on flash drives. Dropbox has been discussed, but not yet implemented.
