mmmmmhmm c++ FTW. We transitioned to it a few years ago.

If you're ever having trouble with anything in it and can't find the answer you can always feel free to hit me up on skype. Our team has already had almost every possible problem with it.

Yeah, we've got things started already that we didn't have started til' week 4 in the past four years, according to the former lead programmer. That always makes me feel nice, going to have some extra time to debug and all makes me very happy.

We transitioned to LabView a few years ago, not sure if we used C++ before that, but I know we used C for a little while when we first started as a team.


Overall, I think the upcoming season is going to be very cool. The closer it gets the more I hope I'm chosen to drive. (We have a 2 year driver, he'll be driving, plus either me or another team member.) I think it'd be neat to drive, and I drove half the matches at last years MARC event.

Oh! And happy week 2 guys! Good luck with your build season!

Yeah, I think you'll find C++ being a lot more fun to work with. Well, for the most part, at least.

Re: BRONY THREAD

I can't tell if my team is miles ahead of where we were last year or light years behind. On one hand, the shooter team is a dynamo and there is reasonable programming being done...but we also barely have a vague notion of what the drivetrain is going to be and we definitely have NO idea whether climbing is going to be a thing or not on our robot...



Week 2 is going to be all crazy Twilight.

We have our ideas about climbing, I'll keep them quiet for now because I'm top secret like that, and it's fairly complicated. Also, you live quite close to me, I just noticed.

I have a bunch of pony stickers, our robot may be a Star wars reference(because of things from Star Wars that sparked ideas that we are indeed using.), what if I covered it with ponies? Pony wars. Star ponies. My Little Star Wars.

we covered our bot in pony stickers last year, it was great.
Tons of people at the regional turned out to be bronies.

OH, that'd be awesome, and we're going to four events this year! Not to mention possibly States or Worlds. Oh! And at least MARC in the offseason! I think over the course of build season, ponies will appear on the robot. Magically. You know, Friendship IS Magic!

wow, that's a ton of events. We can only afford to go to one regional, and I doubt we would be able to organize ourselves enough to travel anywhere even if we had the money.

I noticed T.E.M.P.E.S.T. has a real CD presence...I like it! Today our climbing stuff changed YET AGAIN. I've been working on a new part of the robot for a few days that I cooked up and the climbing folk have requested that I modify my design to include a hanger.

But more importantly...PONIES! I think in addition to sponsor stickers I'm going to discreetly put some ponies on our robot when no one is looking. I don't remember now if we met up with you at any time last season, but at the Livonia regional someone put up ponified safety posters. I saluted Celestia every time we went into a match.

Which four regionals are you going to?

I wanna do that. I wanna do that SOOOO badly.

Too bad that most of my team hasn't even heard of bronies, and the ones that do have very strong negative feelings about them.

Found that out the hard way. :/

As the team Brony, I get picked on a lot. I feel like Babs Seed, except I'm all like, ORBITAL FRIENDSHIP CANNON on them and they just stare in wonderment.

Hehe, not from T.E.M.P.A.S.T. there are about 5 or 6 robotics teams down here in Monroe County I think. At least 3 of which say they're from Monroe. I'm off of M.T.R. (Monroe Trojan Robotics), which is Monroe High's team. T.E.M.P.E.S.T. is Jefferson High's team, if I recall. There's also Virus in Monroe, which is the community college team. (Other county teams include Bedford Express and Dundee Vibots.)


We're going to the Waterford District, the St. Joseph District, the Buckeye Regional in Cleveland, and the Queen city Regional in Cincinnati. Hopefully States and Worlds, too!

Do you guys go to MARC? It's not too far of a drive, only a county away! It'd be fun to have you if you don't. Oh, and next year we may be going to that Bedford district that just started this year. It'd be nice to have a home competition that all my family could go to for in-league play easily. It'd be awesome fun to see you guys around! Actually, it'd be crazy not to, you being so close and all!

Well, I ranted a bit. Hope to see you (and your team!) come competitions.

Welcome! I've read a small bit of Homestuck, and liked what I've seen, just always forget to save my place, and always get out of it.


Also! Anypony play LoL, anything Steam, or any other game I can't think of that is MMO for that matter? You can add me if you'd like, just message me on here!
