FIRST Robotics

My son, Alex, is a freshman in high school and just joined the FIRST robotics team. The robotics team is right now in the big competition season rush. I really cannot understand why they only give these guys six weeks to produce a complex robot but that is what the rules are.

I have decided to help out the team by mentoring students who are focused on computer programming. Since I already have a coding snippets website, I look forward to posting some snippets of robot control code here in the future.

Right now I'm just getting my feet wet trying to understand the whole development environment process for the robotics controller but once I get the hang of it I hope to be doing some innovative stuff soon.
