Yesterday was the final "build day" before Team 3881 heads off to #FRC robotics competition. It was a bit of a cold restart after the pandemic, but the students built a complex “swerve drive” and programmed it in Python (no small task!). That’s literally foundational stuff and sets us up well for next year, but “next year” is an age away to the young. Still, I hope the excitement of competition will ignite some passions. If you are in tech, it’s a great way to contribute back to your community!
@lobrien What did the team use for Python? Did they take advantage of a bridge to WPILIB or use something else other than WPILIB?
@mtomczak Very happy with robotpy, which wraps wpilib with very high coverage (suspect they automate things). Minor challenge keeping in-season updates synced between dev machines but easy to identify and fix.
