Re: A new step in collaboration: FIRST Programmers' Guild

I come from a team with very few mentors and team members (around 10 kids 2-3 mentors). Since I am the only one on the team with any programming knowledge the task of programming the robot was placed on me and it did not go well. I had never worked with C before and it was a major challenge to learn enough C in time to program the robot. I think it would be better for the guild to have sample code available and programming challenges for newbies. The challenges could then be checked by people with more experience and if the person working on the challenge was having trouble the more experienced person could help them. The sample code would not necessarily have to be from someones code for their robot but just a piece of code that demonstrates how to use a certain function. This would then create ties between different teams and better programming overall.
