we'll talk in step tomorrow. yes i agree its good to look at old code... but
i think it would be more efficient to look at what FIRST provides
rather than what Ben has written... considering what it would take to get
the code.
My vote is C++ because there has already been a year of testing on the new
control system with C++ and if I've learned anything about FIRST and code,
is that they don't test their stuff too throughly before they release it to
the teams. There were a lot of problems last year, both code and
mechanically based, which will not be repeated this year because it has not
been run through.
Java will most probably work perfectly or as well as C++, no doubt. I
personally would love it if the code were Java so that I could help a bit.
But from my two years with FIRST, it doesn't wise for a team as young as
ours with all new coders to trying something with little to no community
resources. there's 16 years for C++ and one year on the new control system,
and those resources will be very helpful.
but i'm just one vote. and i dont really know much code. meh.
