Re: How do you use the WPILib?

What classes do you use the most?

CANTalon (With direct encoder input and PID control)
RobotDrive (Makes driving easy)
CommandGroup (Create multiple autonomous modes easily)
Command

Do you edit any of the provided classes?

No

Do you extend any of the provided classes?

Yes, I extended Joystick to make a custom mapping for our specific joystick. I may extend CANTalon next year to make controlling it easier.

What features do you wish WPILib had?

1. A built in way to simulate the code running on a RoboRIO, manipulate inputs, and display outputs. (Side note: I realize that there are other options for this, but all of them require you to use their library. I prefer using the plain WPILib library.)
2. Documentation on how to make SmartDashboard plugins/more plugins
