I just recently started trying to use PROS for V5. For the life of me I cannot find the main function in the file system. I found the main.h header file but int main(). Is this function user accessible?

no, not at the moment. why do you need it?

Mostly curiosity. In robotC I modified task main to manage things like autonomous selection but the same functionality can be achieved without doing that. I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t missing it somewhere. It’s sometimes nice to be able to see exactly what code the robot is executing.

Hahaha. I apologize.

Open source is even in the thread name.
