The electronic team will test the accuracy of the sensors...




Well they dont think that java is a bad language, but they think that we can get the same or even better result in less time.

We have been focusing on the vision part after the competition and made the robot able to aim and shoot automatically, which is not working 100% good but I am sure that we can get better at it.

At school I am learning Java, but after my grade they started teaching c# which is quite the same, but they are not all in the same level (we have two kinds of classes, one is 2 years learning and one is 3 years learning)
And there are also pupils that did not chose to learn C# at school and you need to teach them from the start.


And to make me more clear to all, I am the only one on my team (except from the capten who was on the programming team with me last year and we learned from our team leader) so I need to teach all of the new members java, wpilib and git, which takes alot from me too.

Thanks to all who are commenting I am really trying to use your tips. Thanks!

Labview is easier for people who do not know programming to learn. If you find that a lot of members need to learn from the ground up, Labview might be a better choice.
C# is similar to Java in that both are object-oriented text-based languages, and the sytax and logic flow is very similar. If you find that a significant number of incoming members have taken C#, then maybe sticking with Java is for you. If not, Labview is a bit easier to deal with.

How are you testing the accuracy of sensors? What sensors do you use right now?
