525 Swartdog — Rebuilt Robot Code

This repository contains the robot code for Team 525 (Swartdogs) for the Rebuilt game season.

Testing and simulation

• Using Epilogue for logging.
• Using AdvantageScope to test values with simulation before in the real world.
• Using PathPlanner and Choreo for pathplanning.

Dependencies

• Recommended:
  • WPILib 2026.2.1 Release
• Alternative minimal install for viewing only; (Unsupported, lacks vendor dependency management):
  • Java Development Kit (JDK) 17.
    • Note that the JRE is insufficient; the full JDK is required.
  • WPILib VsCode Extension
  • (Optional) Extension Pack for Java

Workflow

This repo is team-owned, only team members should contribute.

1. Create a branch off main or the current branch for team focus, as relevant. Name said brach based upon what is being worked on, like flywheel-sim for flywheel simulation.
2. Implement code or other changes, usually alongside others.
3. Open a pull request and request review from mentors and peers.

Write commits in the format of "this commit did ___".

Troubleshooting

• Inspect robot.log or console output for stack traces.
• Review WPILib documentation.
• Check WPILib tools to ensure the right dependencies are being used.
• Check with mentors.
• If deploy fails, confirm the RoboRIO and Driver Station are on the same network and that the RoboRIO IP resolves.
