Programming teams

[Anupam Goli]

Our team has 2 programmers (me and one other person), and I am also the electronics person (wired the robot myself). No mentors. We also have 1 other person who is not a programmer, but is very good at math who usually derives the math equations, and we write them into algorithms. (we have a ridiculous double jointed arm that would extend the 84" perimeter, so we had to derive an equation that took two angles and constantly checked if the position of the arm was out of bounds).

I'll train a junior next year before I leave, but I sort of feel proud that i did the wiring and half the programming myself. I had no documentation other than standard FRC documentation and the previous year leader left almost nothing to go off other than the completed robot (with no sensors or anything other than a compressor and 4 pwm jags) and half-working code.
