THUNDER CHICKS
Onbotjava help
In our first years as team, we lacked mentors that could guide us and teach us how to program our robot. This led us to watch YouTube videos and to do lots of Google-ing in order to teach ourselves. The journey has not been easy, which is why we decided to share with others through the knowledge we've gained throughout the years.
