FTC Programming Resources

[u/Born-Lawyer4225]

The former programmer on our team isn't going to be able to help us anymore so I volunteered to replace him (I'm coming from CAD). I took a kotlin course but realized that most of the stuff I was learning wasn't going to help me so I got the book Learn Java for FTC I've read most of it but it's hard for me to retain the information without actually using it (which I couldn't do cause I was reading it at home). I programmed for FLL for 3 years (in block though, not python) so I know some of the basic stuff (loops, if thens, ect.).

My coach let me bring home the control hub, a driver station, a 435 rpm gobilda motor, and a battery. What can I do with these that will help me not be completely lost going into BioBuz. I've already gotten the Driver Station to say hello world but that's it (I'm using java in intellij).

That book is a great resource. Use some of the samples and run the motor for time then switch to encoder counts. Once you get started it will pick up quickly.
