Overview

Welcome to FRC 9450's Coding Curriculum! This page is designed to help aspiring programmers learn the basics of coding for an FRC team by using the Experimental Robotics Platform XRP robot.

What is FRC 9450?

FRC 9450, "Velocity Raptors" is a team based in Woodinville, Washington. We were founded in 2023, and have proceeded to have successful seasons- even winning the prestigeous IMPACT award at our second year! Through this GitBook page, we hope to give programming recruits a good starting point for learning to code.
