Re: On the quality and complexity of software within FRC
I think its great if my students develop advanced programming and controls. Its a great thing to learn and can be incredibly inspiring to see the robot perform amazing functions on the field that would be impossible or very difficult otherwise.
However, if I have a few students who go from no programming experience to some programming experience, and this makes them want to pursue it further, thats just as good to me, if not more in the lines of FIRST's goals.
I do, however, wish I knew how to keep a large programming team engaged (and perhaps thats the topic for another thread), as its difficult to let every programming student work on robot code when you have a large team.

In real life (IE when you go to apply your engineering skills to tasks in industry) there will be constraints on all sorts of things - many of which may or may not be "fair" or even "intelligent". You must learn to either work around them or use them to your advantage - preferably a bit of both. - OScubed [more]
