Learning Examples

My robotics class and I recently went to a robotics competition for Vex. We used a robot C code for the competition. Coding is not for everyone, to give an example, this is 1/5 of our code: task main() { if (vexRT[7U] == 1); { motor[leftliftmotor] = 67; } if else (vexRT[7D] == 1); { motor[leftliftmotor] = -67; } else { if (vexRT[5U] == 1); { motor[leftliftmotor] = 67; motor[rightliftmotor] = 67; } if else (vexRT[5D] == 1); { motor[leftliftmotor] = -67; motor[rightliftmotor] = -67; } else { motor[leftliftmotor] = 0; motor[rightliftmotor] = 0; } } } This is for you to make sure that before you choose to learn this, you understand what will be placed in front of you. Coding is not for everyone but even if you don't want to code as an occupation, it looks great on a resume and is actually very useful. I hope you enjoyed, feel free to ask questions or make requests.

Humming Bird Lab: http://www.hummingbirdkit.com Finch Lab: http://www.finchrobot.com Snap And Scratch (Used For Finch): http://snap.berkeley.edu Robot C (Vex): http://www.robotc.net/download/vexrobotics/ These are the websites where you can download their coding programs. Yes, the robots do cost money but it is not required to learn coding. If you want learn any of these, feel free to leave a comment.
