Northern Bites

The Northern Bites are a RoboCup team composed of undergraduate students from Bowdoin College. If you’re interested to find out more about the team and its endeavors then visit the Northern Bites website or check out our Team Overview. This wiki will guide you through starting off using our code and the way it works. It is by far a complete description of our code base, but if there is something that you can’t find on the wiki and you think would be useful then make sure to add it! Also you can also ask the living wikis (a.k.a team members) about anything.

Without further ado, links!
