 # GRRBase
-A template repository for Java-based robots in the FIRST Robotics Competition.
 
-### Code Styling
-All Java code follows the styling guide of [Prettier](https://prettier.io/). You can apply these rules via [Spotless](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless/tree/main) using the command `./gradlew spotlessApply`.

     Supports various hardware configurations, from vendors such as CTRE, REV, and Redux Robotics, with features such as high frequency odometry, a custom ratelimiter to improve driver control while also reducing wheel scrub, and built-in support for tuning the drivetrain's configuration live via NetworkTables.

+## Getting Started
+
+### Creating your repository
+
+1. On GitHub, navigate to the main page of this repository.
+2. Above the file list, click *Use this template*.
+3. Select *Create a new repository*.
+
+*See also: [GitHub Docs](https://docs.github.com/en/repositories/creating-and-managing-repositories/creating-a-repository-from-a-template)*

+### Prerequisites

+- [WPILib](https://github.com/wpilibsuite/allwpilib/releases) 2025.x
+- [Node.js](https://nodejs.org/en/download) (v22 LTS Recommended)
+
+Node.js is required to support linting via [Spotless](https://github.com/diffplug/spotless), using the [Prettier](https://prettier.io) style guide. You can apply these rules by building, or by running `./gradlew spotlessApply`. Alternatively, if you wish to disable code formatting, you can do so with the following modifications to [build.gradle](build.gradle):

+
+### Configuring the project for your team
+
+First, ensure [wpilib_preferences.json](.wpilib/wpilib_preferences.json) is configured for your team number:
+
+```json
+{
+    "teamNumber": 340
+}
+```
 
-    Utilizing Epilogue, an annotation-based logging framework, custom loggers for vendor and WPILib APIs are pre-defined to transparently log relevant data from the robot's hardware, without any extra setup required.
+*(Optional)* If you decide to modify the package name for your robot code (by default, `org.team340.robot`), you must update your [build.gradle](build.gradle) to reflect the new location of the project's `Main` class:
 
-- [Various other utilities](https://github.com/Greater-Rochester-Robotics/GRRBase/tree/main/src/main/java/org/team340/lib/util)
+```groovy
+def ROBOT_MAIN_CLASS = "com.example.robot.Main"
+```
