Re: The increasing amount of pre-canned code
WPILib definitely helps teams. Even after the six weeks some teams are struggling to make their robot drive. Imagine what it would be like if they had to write drive code from scratch?!?! As programmers, we must remember that not everyone is a programmer. In fact, many FRC mentors have never had to write a line of code in their lives.
If a programmer wants to learn the inner workings of WPILib then I suggest they, and their team, sit down and walk through it. Maybe they could even make some changes. In summary, there is always this tension between helping teams out and taking the challenge away from them. The GDC faces this every year when they sit down and create a new game. |
