This Blog will be for my 20 Time project. Before I tell you what the project is you will need some background. There is an organization called FIRST that is designed to further the knowledge of STEM. For those of you who don't know STEM stands for Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics, also for those of you who don't know FIRST stands for, For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology. I am on a FIRST robotics team. In FIRST robotics they give us a new game to complete every year and every year we have to build a robot from scratch that completes this task. I mainly work on the mechanical side of the robot but would like to learn how to program the robot that I have a hand in building. My goal is to learn how to program the robot.
From what I have been told this will not be an easy task. Programming a robot is much more complicated then any program that you make in programming class. This week I will look at what software and what programming skills that I need to complete this goal.
While I am attempting this I will be consulting several of my team mentors and the programmers on my team for advise and mentoring on how you program a robot.
