Hey Folks,
We just released a series of 3 videos going over the basics of the Command Based Robot architecture in WPILib 2019, as well as some general VSCode tips. You can find them on the Manning Robotics YouTube Channel.
The videos are targeted towards students newer to FRC programming who want to try out the Command Based framework. The series gets as far as having a drivable chassis, and shows some quick examples of implementing some automated movements.
I plan on developing the series further, but won’t have access to the studio again until the offseason, so hopefully this is at least a good starting point for some students.
I fully acknowledge that there are more optimized ways of doing many of the things covered, but for the purposes of illustration and getting newer teams off the ground, I think some amount of ‘just get it working’ mentality is useful. I was also running out of time for the 3rd video so it is a bit rushed, such is life!
Anyways, hope this helps, feel free to post here or DM me with any questions, I’m happy to help.
