What base class do you use when programming?

[EricS-Team180]

In 2013 and 2014, we used Brad Miller's Robot Builder to create a Command based structure in C++. I agree with the comments of Bryce Paputa, wmarshall11, and notmattlythgoe on the Command based approach.
Plus, I like Brad's "pictures-to-code". It introduces the students to the practice used extensively in my field of aero gas turbine controls - and elsewhere.
We'll use it, again, in 2015.

Prior to that we used the Iterative Robot framework, for the same reasons nathanwalters posted.
