Creating a WPILIB Project

Besides setting up the Romi. We also need to set up a program to code it with. To do this, open VSC and follow the following steps.

  1. After opening VS code, we have to open up WPILIB's Command Pallete. If you don't know how, go to the top right of your screen, to the right of the run code button. In the screenshot below, it's that weird red/gray thing. Generally, it's the same icon as WPILIB VSC's app thumbnail.

  1. In Command Pallette, look for "WPILib: Create a new Project". Click it, and you'll enter the screen below.

  2. After this, we'll need to fill out all the different fields here. First let's create a Romi template project.

  3. Go to Select a project type and set it to Template.

  4. Then, in Select a Language, press Java.

  5. In Select a project base, click Romi- Timed Robot. Fill out the rest of the fields, and click the checkbox over Enable Desktop Support. We'll use this to run the Romi.

After you do all of this successfully, you'd end up with a brand new project. Now, go to

note: this is a screenshot of the 2023 Project Creator. As of 2025 it's remained fundimentally the same, but don't freak out if it looks different.
