This Control Award submission walks through the software architecture behind our FTC 2021–22 robot. We cover four drive-control schemes, modular control accessors, hardware-level optimizations, an Intelligent Drive Assist built on Road Runner, OpenCV vision pipelines, and an Entity Component System for scalable OpMode composition.
This post covers our PowerPlay project end-to-end: mechanical design, software architecture, autonomous & TeleOp strategies, performance metrics, lessons learned, and the roadmap ahead.
This post walks through our Freight Frenzy season codebase, from build setup and drive‐train calibration to MeepMeep path visualization and autonomous strategy; highlighting architecture, key features, test results, and future directions.
