FRC Team 7419 – 2026 Robot Code

Overview

This repository contains the codebase for FRC Team 7419’s 2026 robot.

For the 2026 season, we are using AdvantageKit as our primary robot framework to support structured code, deterministic logging, simulation, and replay.

Development Guidelines

Code Quality

• Consistency: Adhere to established coding standards to ensure uniformity across the codebase.
• Readability: Write clear and understandable code to facilitate maintenance and collaboration.
• Documentation: Include comments where necessary to explain complex logic or decisions.

AdvantageKit Notes

• AdvantageKit introduces IO interfaces to separate hardware access from subsystem logic.
• This allows us to support:
  • Real / Sim / Replay implementations
  • Cleaner testing and debugging
  • Deterministic log playback
• The learning curve is not steep if you are already comfortable with WPILib — most robot logic remains the same.

Naming Conventions

• Subsystems: Use UpperCamelCase. Example: DriveSubsystem

• Commands: Use descriptive UpperCamelCase. Example: RunShooterAtRPM, DriveToPose

• Constants:

  • In constants files: Prefix with k and use UpperCamelCase. Example: kMaxSpeed
  • Within other files: Use UPPER_SNAKE_CASE. Example: MAX_SPEED

Following these conventions enhances code clarity and maintainability.

Build Process

We utilize Spotless to maintain consistent code formatting.

• Spotless checks are applied during the build process.
• Always build the project successfully before committing to ensure formatting compliance.

Your PR will fail if not :(

Branching Strategy

• Branch Creation: Create a new branch for each feature or bug fix. Do not commit directly to main.
• Naming: Use clear, descriptive branch names. Examples: swerve, vision, shooter
• Unfinished Work: It is acceptable to commit unfinished work to your own branch. Communicate status clearly (Slack / Canvas) so others can continue if needed.

This keeps the repository organized and collaboration smooth.
