So I wanted to try out PROS, it looks interesting, plus I could probably do more with this compared to EasyC, which doesn’t let you do much.Highwayman’s series on it, good so far. But If I wanted to use this as our competition code, would I update the firmware on the cortex so that it has PROS firmware instead of EasyC firmware?
edit: I’m having a problem with the code, I typed out what Highwayman had in EP.2 since the text wasn’t in op control when I started. I’m getting an error message saying “main.h: No Such file or directory at line 35 col 18”

#include "main.h"
/*
* Runs the user operator control code. This function will be started in its own task with the
* default priority and stack size whenever the robot is enabled via the Field Management System
* or the VEX Competition Switch in the operator control mode. If the robot is disabled or
* communications is lost, the operator control task will be stopped by the kernel. Re-enabling
* the robot will restart the task, not resume it from where it left off.
*
* If no VEX Competition Switch or Field Management system is plugged in, the VEX Cortex will
* run the operator control task. Be warned that this will also occur if the VEX Cortex is
* tethered directly to a computer via the USB A to A cable without any VEX Joystick attached.
*
* Code running in this task can take almost any action, as the VEX Joystick is available and
* the scheduler is operational. However, proper use of delay() or taskDelayUntil() is highly
* recommended to give other tasks (including system tasks such as updating LCDs) time to run.
*
* This task should never exit; it should end with some kind of infinite loop, even if empty.

I’m not positive of what you mean by “the text wasn’t already in op control,” but this makes me suspicious that your pros project wasn’t set up correctly. Like Barin suggested, posting a screenshot of PROS should be helpful.
@Barin , tell me about it. Maybe after I find an internship and get my conference paper finished and submitted, and after states I’ll have time to pick this series back up again. sigh
