How do you get RobotPY working?

I’d like to preface this by saying we aren’t going to be using python for the coming up years (as long as I’m programming head atleast).

However I was trying to get it working, is there not a template project or something I can build off of? I was looking around and I couldn’t find anything. If there isn’t some sort of template project would this not be beneficial for rookies? Python is the easiest programming language supported by FIRST by far.

All I could get it to do was generate a couple files, I didn’t know what to do from there.

The first result on google for “robotpy examples” is GitHub - robotpy/examples: Repository of RobotPy example projects

I’m not exactly sure how I didn’t see this?

This is a very subjective opinion. Java is popular because it’s taught in high school computer science classes. So it’s easier than python for students to use in an FRC context.

That being said, here is the example repo

All I know is I never had the option to be taught Java in high school, but learning python was a breeze.
