Coding in jython

[spartango]

I'd say that the rationale for python should not be that it is syntatically easier for students to learn, but more that as a dynamically typed and fully interpreted language it allows advanced developers to utilize some neat python features...

I can't say i don't agree. I did port this year's code to jython:

from edu.wpi.first.wpilibj import SimpleRobot, Timer
from com.shadowh511.mayor.inputs import Xbox, Switch, DomBoard, GreenAsia
from com.shadowh511.mayor.outputs import Driver, FiringThread

class RobotMain(SimpleRobot):
    """
    This is the main robot class, hopefully the robot is smart enough to load
    it :S
    """
    def __init__ (self):
        """
        Makes the robot class variables
        """
        self.driver = Xbox(1)
        self.gunner = GreenAsia(2)
        self.motors = Driver(1,2,3,4,True)
        self.firing = FiringThread()
        self.switch = Switch(4,4)
        self.DomBoard = DomBoard()
        self.watchDog = SimpleRobot.getWatchdog()

    def robotInit(self):
        self.watchDog.setEnabled(False)
        self.watchDog.kill()

    def autonomous(self):
        robotInit()
        print "Autonomous Starting"
        balls = 2

        while SimpleRobot.isEnabled() and balls > 0:
            if switch.ternaryGet():
                self.motors.stop()
                self.firing.autoFire()
                Timer.delay(3)
                balls -=1
            else:
                self.motors.drive(0.5)

        self.motors.stop()

    def operatorControl(self):
        robotInit()
        print "Starting Teleop"

        while SimpleRobot.isEnabled():
            self.motors.mecanumDrive(driver)

            if self.gunner.getCross():
                self.firing.autoFire()
            elif self.gunner.getSquare():
                self.firing.autoTap()
