More advanced Software Ideas..

Some thoughts on things useful for all teams, not just your own:

• This would be great to add to WPILib: Low fidelity robot simulation for C++ or Java (similar to pyfrc)
• Other off-robot testing utilities
• There's a lot that could be done in general towards improving deployment of image processing code, and improvement of the WPILib C++/Java camera streaming code -- also contributing to a project like GRIP would be useful
• Better dashboard technology. SFX is cool, but lacks documentation. Make it easier to extend SFX and/or SmartDashboard
• Along with that, better tooling for adding remotely tunable stuff to robot code in a more structured + automatic way. Adding SmartDashboard.putNumber everywhere gets repetitive, some automagic code injection or remote introspection could be cool here
• Experiment with web-based dashboards (pynetworktables2js ftw)

There's a lot of projects and such in the FRC community, and some are better or bigger than others. Prefer to contribute to/extend existing projects, instead of creating your own (except where a clear need exists).
