This weekend, I worked with the junior devs on XRP autonomous code. We transitioned from using MicroPython through a web-based environment to Java with WPILib and VS Code. We made a few tweaks to the default XRP template and focused entirely on running autonomous commands. #mentoring #FRCTeam5458 🤖🦾

Opinion: I teach calculus at Berkeley. Some of my students can’t do middle school math
Since the University of California abandoned the SAT and ACT, thousands of faculty say it’s admitting students who aren’t prepared for the coursework. Will UC listen?

Been thinking about this line from #MaulShadowLord pretty much nonstop: "Your future was robbed from you, yet you sit idle. You are one of the few Jedi who survived. Now you squander that gift. Refusing your call to fight!” Huge props to Julia Cooperman for absolutely crushing it with that script.
