Getting Started with Scripting

[Tom Bottiglieri]

Mike, I agree.

If the scripting was brought as far as a standalone GUI that would allow users to add function blocks or draw waypoints, then automatically write the code, it may be good.

But for this year, I think I am going to salvage the encoder loops, gyro code, and the PID from the FIRST supplied navigation code, and try to work it into the default code. If you havent noticed, the navigation codes' workspace is different from that of the usual default code, using robot_command() instead of default_routine(). I think it would be easier on my rookies to try and code in the default code, of which they know, rather than figuring out how the scripting works. It just seems like a waste of time with results that are very limited.

This is unless, of course, FIRST releases a new version of the code sometime soon.
