Thanks from 4509! We've had years of one programmer slugging it out solo, and this is really helping us to create a programming team.

Thanks for these videos and especially the description of GTA Drive. I'm a mentor for 2421 in Virginia and will point our developers to this series. Since you also use Talons I did want to mention a couple of things that make life a lot easier -- Rather than using the TalonSRX class, have a look at WPI_TalonSRX. It inherits from both TalonSRX and SpeedController which is used a fair bit within WPILib. Then you can use SpeedControllerGroups to manage the left and right sides as one, and then also use a DifferentialDrive and its tankDrive method which does the squaring you mentioned (or one of the other drives). I think this will be even more important this season as WPILib 2020 will bring in many features like pathing and knowing the robot's position on a field.

These are excellent! Could you do a video on getting Github working with VS Studio Code?
