Creates comprehensive FAQ document covering frequently asked questions and common issues in FRC, organized into categories: - Build and deployment issues (connection, imaging, Gradle) - Hardware issues (CAN bus, brownouts, pneumatics, motor controllers) - Programming issues (null pointers, command-based, vendor libraries, crashes) - Driver Station issues (communication, joysticks, dashboards) - Firmware and software updates - Network configuration (radio, competition, camera, sensors) Each issue includes symptoms, solutions, and links to relevant documentation. Fixes wpilibsuite#515
Update NetworkTables and telemetry documentation to reflect that struct and protobuf serialization for complex data types is now supported. Changes: - Update telemetry.rst to document struct/protobuf support for complex types - Update networktables-intro.rst to explain struct and protobuf encoding - Remove outdated statement saying struct/protobuf support was "not yet" available - Add examples of WPILib classes with built-in struct serialization - Mention that teams can implement custom serializers Fixes wpilibsuite#2812 🤖 Generated with [Claude Code](https://claude.com/claude-code) Co-Authored-By: Claude <noreply@anthropic.com>
