Re: Simulate robot drive

It's not that it's not possible. It's VERY possible, just difficult to implement. Such a project has been mentioned in a few different threads here since last year but to my knowledge hasn't gained much ground.

1) You are mostly correct in that the values you retrieve from virtual sensors wouldn't be nearly as accurate, but simple driving and controlling of motors should be simple enough once the simulator is properly built.

2) You would be able to use the WPI library(but it would have to be rewritten to control the virtual robot instead of the actual cRio).
