2. Walk through Stronghold 2016 code and ask them to write sections

4. Assign teleop/autonomous work in the subsystems
5. Assign learning assignments and give me a summary of what you think needs to be done
6. Reassigning C3P0 and R2D2

Areas of improvement

1. Everyone knows how to read code but not write code
2. Code academy helped but its not had memory retention
3. Cannot focus on people who arent putting in the effort
4. codeacademy, 101, 201, 301 are mandatory if you are a new person
5. Everyone needs to help each other out
6. Maybe you are not communicating because you arent understanding
7. Error communication must include
   • Stack trace
   • Screen capture
   • Piece of code thats causing the issue
8. DO NOT TRY TO LEARN CODE BY ROTE
9. Do not collaborate to write the initial programs. Do not copy from the internet or others. You are cheating yourself.

Sample programs

1. Calculate area of a circle
2. Find odd numbers in an array
3. Find largest number in an array
4. Perimeter of a rectangle
