My only suggestion would be to map outputs to Direct percent V-buss and force the drivers to deal with any complex cases. Last year the robot spent 30 min before bag with the programers, with no sensors. This year we pushed and got drive encoders, gyro, as well as several other sensors and will likely add one more at competition. Hopefully work to get some time in next year, a programer in a leadership position on the team really helps with this.
