Feedback Thread: WPILib

[Greg McKaskle]

Spurred on by feedback scattered in other threads, I'd like to request detailed feedback on the control system. To help organize things, I've created three feedback threads, one for the HW elements that are used on the robot, one for the Dashboard and Driver Station, and one for WPILib.


Feedback Topic:

WPILib


Tips on giving feedback:
---------------------------
Please be specific as to which elements are being commented on.

Not all teams use elements in the same way, so there is no need to argue that your value judgement for a component is the right one. Explain or justify your judgement so the expectations and context of use is clear.

While comparisons are a fine way to provide feedback, be sure to capture the context that is in your head. What did you expect it to do? Where did it fail and succeed? And then, tell how that compared to the other experience.

Please include tips on best-practices -- a good tool used poorly doesn't lead to a good experience, and the knowledge you can share may make a huge difference to someone else.

Once you've given the context please give your thoughts on improvements.
