So I was poking around the sunspotfrcsdk directory to see what had changed for this season, and would like to point out some interesting changes for discussion:
- In the "tools/" subdirectory, there is a new item called "OutlineViewer.jar". It appears to be related to NetworkTables, but I haven't found any reference to it in the documentation. Does anyone know what it is for?
- Is it just me, or do the Javadocs for this year still say "2013 FRC Java API"? Not a huge issue, just curious.
- Perhaps most interestingly, there is a new subdirectory called "sim/", as well as a "simulate" Ant task. Inside the "sim/" folder are scripts for installing
Gazebo simulator and
ROS (Robot Operating System) on Debian, as well as what appears to be a plugin for the simulator for FRC. Once again, I see no reference to any of this in the documentation. Does anyone have more information on it?
