Re: Theft hits Portland FRC Team 1432

We use Labview backed up on our Google Drive storage.

As the main programming mentor, I've been wanting to learn how to use GitHub, but, I've heard, with Labview, it's really difficult.

If anyone else is using GitHub and Labview together, I would love to pick your brain (so to speak)!

Github, Dropbox, Google Drive... none of them will help if you drop your laptop half-way through re-programming your robot, while you're standing in the queueing line.

With a flash drive and a helpful alliance partner, you at least stand a chance to set things right.

The thing is it's not like it's "either, or". Any decent DRP (disaster recovery program) involves several types of backup. At the very minimum, back up your code every day of coding to USB or better yet to 2 or more USBs and give to different people.

Re: Theft hits Portland FRC Team 1432

We had this exact issue last year -- it was stored in a semi-public area during the school day and was swiped. The code is now backed up daily. If you're using Java I'm sure I could help you guys rebuild your code. PM me.

GitHub lets you store and manage any kind of files -- text, binaries, pictures, whatever. If the files are plain text then you can view diffs and track changes between files a little more clearly, but it still works without.

Just like you don't show up to a competition with only one battery, and you probably bring spares of key parts like motors, breakers, etc. Always have several ways you can access your code in case something happens to your original.

I was a design judge for FLL last November and one team showed up with a laptop expecting to just pull down their presentation from their Google Drive. I let them squirm and panic for a minute and then asked "So boys.. what did you learn?" Their sheepish answer was "we should have downloaded a copy onto this laptop before we came in". Only then did I give them the wifi password to the school network.

Re: Theft hits Portland FRC Team 1432

I don't know if Team 1432 has any presence on Chief Delphi, but they are on Facebook, if you want to contact them that way.
https://www.facebook.com/team1432?ref=br_tf

I believe they have rec'd quite a few donations, a laptop or two, but are still missing a copy of Labview, according to their most recent FB post.

Hoping we get to see them at the Philomath (OR) competition later this week!

Yeah...didn't want to say it due to the sad nature of the post, but yeah. "All the codes", and don't forget "working hard to find the right code sequence." I marvel at how some people can still be this technologically illiterate in this modern day and age. I get that not everyone is a programer, but I think most people at least know the (somewhat) proper terminology.

We have used both Dropbox and Github. Github is well worth the switch due to the built in version control. We do still use Dropbox for CAD though.

For CAD we use GrabCAD now. It has an online web viewer for Solidworks files and has really good conflict control (1 conflicted copy this whole year) as well as version control. We used Dropbox two years ago and got tons of conflicted copies due to inexperienced people opening and saving files, especially when at home. It was livable and can work as long as precautions are taken, but I like GrabCAD more.

Re: Theft hits Portland FRC Team 1432

Sorry to hear this! If your team needs any help I am sure team 3019 would be more then willing to help! as for backing up the code use github and upload working code to a flash drive. That way you have a physical copy and a cloud copy. REMEMBER: The more places the better!

hope things end up all right!
