FRC Python Project Template

This repository is a season-start foundation for FRC teams using RobotPy and command-based architecture.

What this template provides

• A clean robot.py + robot_container.py structure.
• A reusable subsystem + IO abstraction pattern.
• Starter constants.py, robot_config.py, and util.py.
• Basic testing entry point in tests/.
• Student-friendly docs with onboarding and yearly kickoff checklists.
• Rule-compliance checklist for reusable pre-Kickoff software workflow.

Intended yearly workflow

1. Keep this template public and version-tagged before Kickoff.
2. Create a new season repo from this template after Kickoff.
3. Add game-specific mechanisms and strategy in the season repo.
4. Keep reusable, game-agnostic improvements here and in shared libraries.

Quick start

1. Create your new season repo from this template.
2. Update robot_config.py with your robot MAC addresses and subsystem map.
3. Update constants in constants.py for current hardware and field data.
4. Implement real subsystems under subsystems/.
5. Update controller bindings in robot_container.py.
