Team 94 FIRST Robotics FRC Robot Code

FIRST Robotics FRC is a high school robotics program. This repository contains the code used in the Southfield High School Team 94 (NinetyFouriors) robot.

Getting Started

Development Requirements

Python 3.6: This codebase uses Python 3.6
pyfrc: Be sure to follow the pyfrc instructions for the latest roboPy setup. This is largely handled by the install of this project mentioned below.

It is highly recommended that you use an python environment manager with python to help as the version of python required by pyfrc changes.

pyenv is useful for managing multiple python versions (3.6) on your computer: NOTE your python version and pip version/dependencies are highly correlated
- brew install pyenv for macOS and Homebrew
- scoop install python with Scoop is the closest thing if you have the misfortune to be using Windows and possibly follow this page for more instructions on supporting different python versions
pipenv is useful for dependency management for this project as well
- pipenv --python 3.6 to create a python 3.6 environment for this project
- pipenv install -e . to setup this project in the created virtualenv
- pipenv shell to enter the environment for this project
- tox after that to run the tests

IDEs like Pycharm also support pipenv.

Note: If you are confident that your system version of python is exactly python 3.6, then you can simply use:

$ pip3 install -e .
$ tox

Good luck!

Project Formatting

To be soothing to your mind, the project attempts to make python/PEP formatting not an issue. Given you think you are ready to commit your code changes. Just run:

black --check .

To show which files black will reformat.

black --diff .

Shows the changes black will make, and then:

black .

will let the reformatting goodness happen. Black comes with the pipenv install -e . of the project.

Deploying to the Robot

Copy/install all .py files in the src/robot folder to the robot.

RobotPy has some great robot code deployment instructions and automation. Note that the RobotPy deployment process will automatically run the tests for the project as part of the deployment to try and protect us from ourselves.

$ python3 robot.py deploy

# in the virtual environment python3 may not be available
$ python robot.py deploy

Running Tests

Make sure, you have tox installed:

$ pipenv install -e .[tests]
$ pipenv shell

Run the projects tests:
```
$ tox
```
