Multiple programmers: version control or naw?

[Joe Ross]

Not only do you need version control when working with many programmers, you also need a code framework that is conducive to having many people working on the code. You didn't specify what language you're using, but for C++ and Java, the Command Based framework does a good job of doing this. Other teams have created frameworks for the same purpose.

There are many other things on a robot team that can use programmers as well, so it may not be necessary to have everyone working on the robot. Dashboard, scouting and the website are things that other programmers can work on.
