Github repository for the code
This public repository contains the results of some experiments we conducted in the offseason in Java. Our goal was to create a simple framework where robot code could be developed and tested without a cRIO.
There's still many ways this framework could be improved, but we believe we have made progress worth sharing.
Here's the summary (included in the linked document) of our goals:
Critical logic can be run without access to a cRIO or Robot- Multiple teams (Electrical, Mechanical, Programming) need access to the robot or a cRIO, so this has often been a bottleneck for us
Supports writing and running test cases- Now that our programming team has a large pool of programmers, the odds of making a change that causes a regression has increased
- In addition, we want to be able to write proof-of-concept tests during development
Has reusable components for future seasons and other teams- The progress we make this year should be applicable to future years (assuming no rules changes about shared libraries)
