We actually practice on the old robots in the fall, reprogramming them thru all the parts, simple stuff to more complex sensors/buttons/motors combinations.

During the first week of build, we all set a rough idea of what is needed on paper, with the electronics mentor doling out port numbers etc. The programmers usually got ahead of the prototype robot (or the multitude of pre-prototype mock-ups) with only tweaking of code (if we're lucky) or rewriting code (if the manufacturing group changed the design).

Yeah, that's what turned me off to COBOL, way back when, to my 13-year-old fingers, the typing, typing, typing of code, though I never actually did much coding. Though the card punch units the high school had made a pretty neat and satisfactory hole-punch sound. Robo-COBOL is, of course, much easier.
