Description
Develop some robot code using Python!
**Step 1:**
Figure out the entire development process:
- what tools to install on the developer laptop?
- what FRC APIs are available?
- how to deploy to the robot?
- how is the support for 3rd party devices like Spark Max motor controllers?
- what level of help or support can we get from other FRC teams or organizations?
- what websites, YouTube videos, or other resources are available to help?
**Step 2:**
Figure out what evaluation criteria we want to use to declare this effort a success (or not). What do we need to prove we can do in a prototype, before we are comfortable making a decision to use Python for the real competition robot?
- make a list of features, or questions we need to answer.
**Step 3:**
Implement some code! You can deploy on XRPs, on Beetle, and on previous competition robots.
**Step 4:**
After developing the process, evaluation criteria, and developing some prototype code, evaluate how we like using Python.
Pros?
Cons?
Decide whether to try Python for this year's competition robot, or go with Java or C++.
Prepare a demo presentation to the rest of the team.
