[FTC]: Improved(?) SDK Interface
 

I have created a modified version of the SDK files which I think would be useful. It can be found here:
https://github.com/illinois-ftc/demo_hphs_robot,
with documentation here: http://illinois-ftc.github.io/demo_hphs_robot/

The notable changes from the existing SDK are the following:

• FtcOpModeRegister.java should never need to be edited-instead, the ActiveOpMode annotation is used to mark a class for display in the menu, with a title, like so:
  
  Code:

  ---

  @ActiveOpMode("TeleOp17")
public class DemoAuto ...

  ---

• Motor/servo/sensor initialization code is not duplicated across op modes-instead a single RobotHardware class is created, with public properties and an initalizeHardware method to set the properties. Class declaration looks the following:
  
  Code:

  ---

  public class DemoAuto extends RobotLinearOpMode<DemoRobot> ...
//or
public class DemoTeleop extends RobotOpMode<DemoRobot> ...

  ---

• Servo/sensor initialization is consistent between linear and loop op modes:
  
  Code:

  ---

  public void initializeRobot() {
 ...
}

  ---

Please let me know what you think of these modifications, and any changes/improvements you would like to see. I also plan to create a tool which is able to automatically generate the subclass of RobotHardware based on a robot XML file.

The active opmode annotation is a nice idea.

It's along the same lines that I was trying to
do with the library fork of the SDK.
