Re: What do your programmer's do (besides the robot)

Things we've started introducing lately:
(We had 4 programmers, 1 was in his first year of FRC but had a lot of experience in other programming areas, and 1 programming mentor who is a student from a local college)

-Look for ways to improve code layout / design / structure from year to year. Look at great things and awful things in each year's code and how things have progressed. Ways to improve and increase clarity is very important in a team as large as yours.
-The newest programmer overhauled the website and re-designed it from scratch (I believe he used some basic UI frameworks, but regardless, still a big project).
-Wiring (electrical & pneumatic)
-Helping with scouting. We haven't made our own electronic scouting program, and I'm not sure if we will in the near future. What I did do was create a program that simulated day 2 qualifications based on day 1 performances and day 2 schedules. Since our scouting team meets after day 1 and also right before alliance selection, having a good idea of what standings might look like on the day 1 meeting is a good idea. It obviously isn't perfect, but it gives insight on which teams could be in the top 8.
-Lots of work on control system development.
-We also procrastinate a lot.
