Our robot code for the FIRST Robotics FIRST Power Up competition.

Getting Started

Prequisites

Our repo requires on the following Python libraries:

• RobotPy
• OpenCV
• NumPy

Installation

Linux/MacOS

run pip3 install -r requirements.txt

May require sudo, but --user can be passed in if need be.

Windows

pip3 install -r requirements.txt

Test Modules

Run the following commands in your local Python terminal (Run python3 or python to access it):

    >>> import cv2
    >>> import wpilib
    >>> import numpy

These should return no errors. If they did, review previous instructions.

Test Code

To test this robot project, simply pass in the following command into your command prompt or Windows.

$ python3 path/to/robot.py sim

or, if you use Windows,

$ python path\to\robot.py sim

This should bring up a separate window to display a test bench on.

Deploy Code

To deploy this code, you will need to make sure of the following:

• Your code tests correctly and will not break the robot.
• Your computer is connected to the Robot's WiFi Network. (To configure this, see here)

If you fill these requirements, run the following code:

For Mac OSX/Linux:

python3 path/to/robot.py deploy

For Windows:

python path\to\robot.py deploy

In addition to this, you can run some of the following commands:

• -n or --no-version-check to ignore the version of RobotPy that is on the robot.
• --skip-tests to skip the tests on the robot (Not recommended) To see the rest of the commands available to you, use the command python3 path/to/robot.py deploy -h
