Programming

This year we plan to use Java to program our robot. We will also be learning C++ and Labview to help other teams.

Rather than using the classmate laptop for our control station, we have an Asus EeePc primarily because of superior battery life and keyboard size.

Currently we have created a program that helps prevent our robot from turning too fast and tipping over. PID control code was created and tested but does not yet work.

We will be switching from Victors to Jaguars soon, so code will need to be tweaked, but that will be minor. Firmware flashing for jags and CAN stuff will need to be looked into.
