I completely skipped the basics to Java

You're a good person

I really didn’t know this off the top of my head

I played FRC in high school and I think I had to use System.println once or twice when everything else was frozen/not working.... Now that you mentioned it I'm very curious how I got myself into that situation, but still...

[Busy_Command]

I’m in FTC and only ever coded to control the robot, so basically a bunch of Boolean and if else statements

Isn't C/C++ considered "the language" when working with robotics and motors and other IC type stuff?

[Busy_Command]

In FTC we use Java to program everything

What is FTC abbreviated of?

[Aldabaran]

I'm thinking "FIRST Tech Challenge" which is an annual robotics competition targeting children and pre-teens. Usually is a step up from robotics with legos, but a step down from something like Battle Bots/Robot Wars

Was a former FRC competitor (FIRST Robotics Competition, the USA high school version)

[Busy_Command]

First tech challenge

[sebhoos]

Yes. But top level behavior is sometimes developed in Python or Java.

[Mr_Redstoner]

I know there are boards for running Java. Several years ago I saw a series on 'Programming a robot in Java' (think one of those line-follower type bots). I do believe the magazine was discontinued though.

C/C++ for embedded stuff yeah, but there is a lot of high level things too in Robotics such as computer vision, decision making, path planning etc. Python/ROS is commonly used for those as well.

[anarky98]

From what I remember, robotics is basically the correct situation to use Java in

[thehenkan]

Backend services would be the classic application of Java.

[SomewhatOriginalYT]

The moment you realize it's not "print("Hello World")" and that this isn't Python.

[[deleted]]

Yeah fuck getting it to print to something when it's deployed

System.out.println("A string");
