How do I get started with coding a robot?

Technical Java
1

I know a fair amount of java but I’m not sure how to get started on actually creating code for the robot.

2

The authority: screensteps live and the WPIlib javadocs.

Lots of other useful stuff about the control system from team 358 that’ll answer many of your questions.

If your new to coding the robot I would suggest a good frame work to build off of. The Command Based robot is a great way to compartmentalize the different subsystems of the robot so you can focus on parts of the machine. RobotBuilder will get you the frame work for a Command Based Robot you can build off of.

Not sure what you mean by “get started”. FRC has a fairly good step by step that “should” get a basic bot moving using Command or Iteritive Robot Sample code.
