Some Assistance is Appreciated?

[NanaLlama]

I'm new here, I think that might be obvious.

I'm not only new here but I'm new to FRC and robotics all together.

Most of our Electrical and Programming Team isn't experienced (because all the Seniors graduated) and we all have no idea how to program any sensors. Like, not at all. In any form. I think this may be a very...wide subject and will have to use a lot of explaining but, yeah.

Can someone please help?

And if you do, can you keep big words at a minimal? (I have a hard time reading.)

Thank you. :)

Update: we want our sensors to calculate how far we are from the goal.
