Team Robot's info

FIRST General Forum

hi, I am teaching the new recruits on our team how to program in c++. Just to get them familiarized with functions, variables, loops and arrays i want to give them a project to create a program where a user would type in a teams number and it would print to screen (cout) the team info and robot info. I chose this because we possess limited resources for robot programming equipment for each personnel. I figured that it would be a good exercise since most exercises online has answers already where they will use the internet to copy and paste. I am basically asking if any team would like to give us any info about their team, and 2011 robot.

Team 256 would like to do this, but we have so many changes going on that things are bound to change by the time I post this. :slight_smile:

just curious…are you using a database of some sort? If not, how do you plan to store the information?

Thank you all, and they would just insert it into the code whether by using a string or “cout”

My college C++ class allowed us to take any materials we could find online line into any exams, and search for any code online for labs. The attitude is that when you do real coding(like C++ for FRC), finding the help and fitting it to your problem is an important of learning to code. The people in your group who do not pick up anything wont be able to transfer the code they find online to their problem because they wont get the difference of logic.

You can also make an fstream from a txt file to save you the time of hand writing the data(another loop to practice with).
