Java CircleTrackerDemo

Will the new CircleTrackerDemo code work with Crab/Swerve Drive

From what I've read in other threads, it doesn't sound like it does. Where did you find the CircleTrackerDemo?

If you use NetBeans as an IDE, make a new project, use samples, and Java FRC. You should find the CircleTrackerDemo there.

And as for crab/swerve steering, these drive setups are not provided by FIRST. Your programming team will have to design the motor control structure to correspond to the motion tracking software. From what I am aware, the AxisCamera can read in the image(lets say the target) and will analyze and read in colors of the individual pixels as integer values. For this years API, there is a method that recognizes the shape of the target and its color. So what you would have to do is use control structures based on the location of the target in relation to the robot in order to re-align.

Hope that made sense and helps
