One of our team’s offseason projects was investigating different software libraries available. As part of the project, we decided to write demo code for our 2017 robot in the Strongback framework from team 4931.
You can view our implementation on Github here.
Did you like it?
Short Answer: Yes,
Long answer: Strongback has many nice features. Its use of interfaces makes the code very testable. The coding style, and use of Java 8 features makes the Strongback codebase an excellent example of well written, highly modular java code.
Did it do everything we would have liked? No, but it certainly ticked many of the boxes we were looking for.
Will we use it in 2018? Probably.
