is there any way to work on code without being near the robot?
We use Beta 8397's incredible https://github.com/Beta8397/virtual_robot as well. We actually program our robot into it so we can use our code as is. That is not exactly for the faint of heart, but it is an option. I suggest using one of the built-in robot configurations and modifying it to learn how.

Any hardware that's not $700 that can run FTC code?
Agree. We have used virtual robot for programming practice and training new programmers.

New to Coding
Agree with this. Also, you might want to check out virtual robot, which has built-in support for the "Learn Java for FTC" book and will allow you and your team to start programming without needing access to an actual robot. We have used both of these with some success.

Does Amazon Corretto 8 JDK include JavaFX?
I maintain this JavaFX project. It runs fine using Amazon Corretto 8 JDK on every Windows system I've tried it on. A user with a MacBook recently posted an issue (package javafx.application does not exist), which he or she fixed by switching to the Bell Liberica 1.8 dev kit.

Simulator that works with roadrunner?
Another +1 for Beta's excellent simulator at: https://github.com/Beta8397/virtual_robot

A question
We have used Learn Java for FTC with some success. In conjunction with this, we also use a virtual robot simulator which has support for the "programming board" hardware construct in the book. The simulator allows you to learn programming without having to buy an actual robot. Both of these are free.

Virtual Robot Simulator
I am using the virtual robot simulator(https://github.com/Beta8397/virtual_robot) and can't get it to run my op modes. When I click init it does nothing. The demo scripts work but mine doesn't and I'm not sure why. Can someone please explain why this might be happening?

Help with Roadrunner Hardware Mapping
Jumping right in is a very difficult way to learn in this program. I would highly suggest reading this https://github.com/alan412/LearnJavaForFTC/blob/master/LearnJavaForFTC.pdf to get an overview of the basics you will need. It's not very long and is most of the knowledge you will need for this competition.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing virtual_robot and LearnJavaForFTC you can also consider the following projects:
ftc-dashboard - React-based web dashboard designed for FTC
just-the-docs - A modern, high customizable, responsive Jekyll theme for documentation with built-in search.
EasyOpenCV - Finally, a straightforward and easy way to use OpenCV on an FTC robot!
