Requires Java, VS Code, and the WPILib installer plus physical robot hardware to fully test.
This is the control code for Team 3952's competition robot built for the 2023 FIRST Robotics season. Think of it like the brain of the robot, it's the software that tells the physical machine what to do when drivers give it commands during matches. The team used Java, a popular programming language, along with WPILib, a special toolkit that FIRST provides specifically for controlling competition robots. The code gets loaded onto the robot's onboard computer and coordinates everything from motor movements to sensor readings. When a driver pulls a joystick or presses a button, this code interprets those inputs and decides how the robot's arms, wheels, and other mechanisms should respond. It's written in a way that lets different team members work on different parts, like one person handling wheel movement while another handles the robot's grabbing arm, and then combine it all together. To work on this code, you'd need Java installed on your computer, a code editor like Visual Studio Code, and the WPILib installer (which comes with extra tools FIRST requires). Once you've got everything set up, you can write changes, test them on your computer, and then deploy the updated code to the actual robot over Wi-Fi. The repository includes instructions for doing all of this, plus it links to other related projects the team built, like vision code for helping the robot "see" game objects and a graphical control panel for monitoring the robot during matches. This type of project is maintained by competitive robotics teams, students and mentors working together to build and program functional robots that compete in FIRST's annual challenges. For the 2023 season, that challenge was called "Charged Up," which involved robots working together to place game pieces and balance on platforms.
