Re: Who has an actual programming team ?

This year, we have two sophomores and a freshman learning labview, plus one labview mentor and one mentor in general programming stuff. Last year it was basically me and a senior we got lucky enough to recruit, who actually knew C.

I'm technically the only experienced programmer on the team right now, and I've been working on oversight/integration but plan on coming back to help write autonomous. The other person with programming experience spends most of his time building electrical.

During the debates on whether to switch to C++ or LabView, I noticed that everyone who'd ever programmed before was in favor of C++, while all the roookies and electrical/mechanical engineers wanted the pretty pictures. Did any other programming departments encounter the same thing?

Re: Who has an actual programming team ?

I completely understand, it can get very frustrating. Last year just about half of our team did nothing, literally, despite the efforts of the other half to help them find what they'd like to do on the team. We'd even give them tasks in different sub-teams to nudge them along, but that proved fruitless.

Sorry, off-topic. Anyway....

Re: Who has an actual programming team ?

Longwood team 564 has a programming team of approximately 7 programmers with 4 being very proficient and 3-4new members learning.

OUr programmers are responsible for wiring all sensors along with programming and developing new code for specific functions

1676 has 5 student programmers (2 are seniors) and generally 1 mentor (occasionally 2-3).

Re: Who has an actual programming team ?

We were not fortunate enough to become a Beta test team, but were lucky to have our programming mentor be selected to go to the weekend in Texas to learn and share the control system to the state. We have two students on the programming sub-team, and another mentor helping out where he can. I feel you always need more than one person understanding what's going on with the program. That allows for different points of view, and if the robot should ever revolt and take out it's programmer, hopefully the other one can step in and take over.

our teams programing contains only two members which consites of me a rockie and a older member but the programers aren't just programing like i'm in mechanical partially as well so we don't really have a programing team

Re: Who has an actual programming team ?

We do, but it's slowly thinning out with less and less people joining our team and even less joining that division.

Right now we have 2 guys programming and one learning.

Just as an update, our programming team has grown:
We have a college student as our programming mentor.
We have myself as the programming team leader.
We have two seniors, a sophomore, and possibly a few others who we are teaching programming. They are very helpful for algorithm development even when they don't know the language.

That's good to hear. Syntax mean little against a bad algorithm.
Our team has grown some also.

We have program leader, then me, and two others. However, I'm the only programmer with experience.
We do have a mentor though, who drops in occasionally.
It's getting better.
More mentors = more student to mentor relationships = fulfilling just one goal of FIRST.

*sigh* one of two programmers speaking from 1785...
We have many mentors though, and a few noob programmers, but I don't think that they'll be expected to do much.

Re: Who has an actual programming team ?

we have on paper " 9 " programmers, but in reality we have 2 people that know labview, 1 person who is learning labview, and i a genius in basic, 1 mentor who can program in G code, so i guess 4....

Re: Who has an actual programming team ?

We have a programming team of two students and an over seeing mentor.
I have no idea about it, i'm still a noobie and learning the very basics of the mechanical aspect.

Very fun though

Re: Who has an actual programming team ?

We have myself (a sophomore who is just learning programming) a junior (who is also learning programming), our main programming mentor (who knew C like the back of his hand), another mentor who steps up when we need him, and possibly a new mentor who works with LabView on a daily basis. That's our programming team. It's pretty interesting too. haha.
