![]() We went through a few iterations of designs to come up with the robot we had. The core thing for that competition was that each robot had a trailer you were trying to score balls into, and the playing surface and wheels were both regulated 2 to be a low coefficient of friction, similar to playing on the moon. The game for the 2009 season of FRC was called Lunacy. Then we'll go through the code, and I'll reflect on things at the end. Let's take a look at what the game was and what made our robot special. Recently, I found the code from our second season in 2009. Yeah, that pushed me toward where I am today. The magic of writing code that controlled a moving actual thing? The first programming classes were good, but didn't change the course of my life: I still saw them as a useful tool.īut our programming teacher started a FIRST Robotics Competition team with us.Īnd that ended up sending my life on a different course 1. If I wanted to be a mathematician, that was a mistake, because it got me hooked. ![]() I knew that to get a math degree, I'd probably have to take computer science, so I signed up for a programming class in high school. ![]() Most of my life, I'd intended to become a math professional of some sort: a math teacher, when that was all I saw math for an actuary, when I started to learn more and then a mathematician. ![]() In high school, one of my teachers shattered my plans for my life, in the most beautiful way. ![]()
