  1. Before Programming

Downloading Essential Tools

This page will contain all the tools we recommend for programming the Romi, as well as all other FRC bots.

VSC + WPILIB Extension

For FRC Programming, we use WPILIB VSC (Visual Studio Code). This version of VSC is just like regular VSC but with tons of QOL changes that'll give you a longer life expectancy. Here is a link to instructions from WPILIB.

DriverStation

DriverStation is a handy tool used to toggle which state a robot's in (states are stuff like Autonomous, Teleoperated, etc.). We primarily use it for testing.
