As for our experience in IAP, it was.. quite interesting. We learned new things about robot design and how long and annoying it takes to debug the code only to find out it was a "trivial" error, as Donald would call it. The class was fun, and the coolest part was watching the result of everyone's hard work during IAP at the final competition! Advice for those who are taking it would be that the gyro is unreliable! Make sure you test the code over and over again on the game board, but be careful because it gets really crowded close to impounding time. Come up with a simple strategy and work on doing it flawlessly! Good luck!
