This year, my robotics team (FRC 2067) used a swerve drive, which uses 4 independently controlled modules to allow any combination of rotation and translation.
I recently made a simulator/game for this in Java.


Here are the controls:

*the harvester has to be down before you can shoot
Scoring in this game can be done by throwing the ball over the truss in the middle of the field, or shooting into the blue goal at the end of the field.

It's a bit buggy, like when interacting with other robots, but I figured I'll share what I have, since I haven't posted anything in such a long time

Here are the links:

Controller functionality tested on a Logitech Gamepad F310. Left stick for translation, right stick for rotation, LT and LB for harvester, RT for shoot, A for field centric, B for robot centric, D-pad for move rotation point, back for reset rotation point.


Tell me what you think

Yay Epic7 is back ! That robotics thingy sounds awesome. Do you have a video ?

I feel like the HUD at the top of the arena should float around and follow the camera.
But maybe that's just my spoiled-ness talking

You can't write FRC-legal code in Python

EDIT: 100 moar posts until I'm 1337!

There are only 3 languages you are allowed to program FRC robots in: Java, C, and Labview.

Um, then use C, not Java.

If there's a CPU, there's asm.

If there's a CPU, there's asm.

As I said. There is no supported assembly language for the cRIO. There are no assemblers, and the processor is proprietary (National Instruments). You can't program it in asm, even if you wanted to.
