If you mean the image. It's not just big companies. Its everyone. It's just not feasable to move everything to a new standard. Even if it would turn out that it is better
@Almo Although it really could come in handy sometimes in places like maybe doing player stats that involve adding up a bunch of numbers that could be tiny or huge, and doing some kind of stats formulas on them without needing anything ugly to handle precision
Ok @Jon I'll read... And @shotgun Thanks for the information.. I know basics of the Computer and I develop some Apps for Windows mobile and Android. I need to go beyond that...
Thanks for the tips. I gotta get some fresh air. I am not convinced that I have to learn C before C++ just because I have heard a lot of people say otherwise. Biased stroustrup included ofc. And C++ is still the industry standard. Although that doesnt say much. cough JavaScript
That includes the National Instruments cRIO robot controller, a fully programmable FPGA-based control hub.
You can code it in Java, C++, or LabVIEW.
There is a support library, maintained by Worcester Polytechnic Institute students, which gives you interfaces for all the controllable devices that you can attach to the robot, as well as interfacing for the Field Control system.
Just the technology that goes into the Field Management System is incredible.
There are smartphone apps like FRC Spyder which display the match history and brackets based on that feed.
As well as alliance selection aids which help teams plan out a selection for their Final Alliance.
The games are broken up into Qualification matches for Friday and half of Saturday, and at noon on Saturday, the top-seeded 8 teams pick two other teams each, round-robin style, to join them in the 8 Final Alliances.
Students and team mentors are allowed to design their own marketing plans to acquire funding.
Typically, local companies are tapped, though national/international companies and groups like Google, NASA, and JCPenney offer their support to any team that applies.
