Get code from cRIO

Creating a zip file of the folder of your code and uploading it to a folder on your teams website is another easy way to back up your code.
bobl, though I feel for your loss having done the same thing my self, this is a great opportunity to review coding in Java before the season starts. Not that saves you any time, but it is an awesome learning experience

Slow your horses people. If you really really really want your code (and provided its in c++ or another one of the mentioned languages) You can "Somewhat" get the code from the cRIO. You can ftp and fecth the FRC_UserProgram.out file from the /ni-rt/system/ directory. This code can be be then decompiled using a tool such as ollydebug. This technique should be reserved for times when the amount of work to recreate what ever the old coder made is greater than about 10000000000000000 hours

Ollydbg contains a disassembler, not a "decompiler". You can't get your original C++ code back.

It also appears to be x86 only, which won't help you with the cRIO's ppc target.

Another option would be to use ftp to upload it to your robot.

Great idea! Also, let's put a compiler and an AI on it so it'll write its own code.
