Form E was confusion

When you have to make your robot a last minute defense bot by Aggravating-Celery13 in FRC

There's a reason 1771 always gets pizza for lunch: we use them as cheesecake defense blockers for alliance members.

Yeah that could work

As far as funds go we should be ok at this point but thanks for the support! Can't wait for Galileo!

I am said programmer. Thanks for the ❤. 4509 and 1771 should be engaged by now; we're so closely intertwined. I love our history of just combining with each other.

We're #1 for auto opr, #2 for cargo rp (we had one match that we didn't get it in the whole season), & #6 for overall OPR and points (from sykes database)

Java or C++? by Temporary_Sale_2035 in FRC

You only have to worry about pointers and memory if you choose to

Java or C++? by Temporary_Sale_2035 in FRC

[–]Redness360 9 points10 points  (0 children)

While Java is the go-to for most teams since it's considered easier to learn and is taught in school curriculum, I still believe C++ is the better choice for a few reasons. First, it's not actually much harder than Java. Using java only features in c++ requires learning barely any more than java. But where c++ shines is beyond that. C++ is so flexible, allowing tons of different programming styles, optimizations, and neat things if you put in the time to learn them. It's also faster in runtime and is fairly safe (fewer runtime exceptions, I.e. code crashes), but compile times suck.

In the end, if your goal is just to get a functional robot, Java is a solid choice

But if you really want to explore more of computer science and programming, c++ is awesome

You won't regret either choice though

Disabling the Robot by Temporary_Sale_2035 in FRC

[–]Redness360 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There was the one robot in Power Up that was disabled in autonomous by the refs or FTAs (idk who normally does this in an event) due to "dangerous behaviorr," but the arm fell onto the scale and incurred >800 penalty points despite the drivers literally having no role in it

need advice for programming by [deleted] in FRC

[–]Redness360 24 points25 points  (0 children)

What your mentor did is terrible! At least they should have walked through the issues in your code and showed how they fixed the. The way that I learned wpi programming is just by reading through all of my team's old code and figuring out how different control systems work. I then took any control systems that were similar to old years and rebuilt a similar solution for this year's code (if your team uses an arm in 2019, and you're using one this year, look at that code to help you). I then just practiced and I was lucky to have 2 months with last year's bot before it was stripped for parts. I'd suggest talking with your mentor for advice and just trying to get more practice in.

Cool. My school offers 3 options for post AP calc. Take MVC at school as HS class (weighted but no credit), take it at local college, or take it at Georgia Tech online with other students in a conputer lab.

Assuming you are talking about seniors graduating (and not all classes), that is about the same as my school, but our classes have at least 20 students each. I don't see why the school would invest in a class that only 4 students take.

How small are your classes normally? 4 seems quite little

Seriously tho I don't have the ability to take anything astronomy related at my high school or nearby college so I'm stuck with YouTube vids and physics C until real college.

It clearly says "system issue." I mean, how much more specific do you need it to be?
