Competitive Robot Software Simulation

Presenter: Ryan Shavell (180)

Key Takeaway: Learn how to fully simulate an FRC robot so programmers can test their changes quickly and without access to the physical bot!

Gone are the days of waiting for a physical robot to test robot code - with a bit of planning, you can simulate nearly your entire code stack! Work on autonomous paths, vision tracking, driver controls and more before a physical robot is available or CADed. This session will go over the libraries and techniques used to do this for a Java robot, alongside some examples.
