GitHub Release Notes: RobotCode2025 v2.0.0

We are excited to announce version 2.0.0 of our 2025 robot code! This release is jam-packed with features and improvements, including several upper assembly enhancements, comment improvements, and even software to handle our custom vision solution, OceanView. Below is a more specific breakdown of what has changed.

Changelog

🚀 New Features

• OceanViewManager
  • Introduced the new OceanViewManager class, which parses OceanView data from a coprocessor like a Raspberry PI and reduced detection noise by using rolling averages.
  • Integrates seamlessly with the new UDPReceiver and TCPSender classes, ensuring data is efficiently and reliably gathered.
• Driver Camera Support
  • Introduced support for using a driver camera. Simply plug in a USB camera into one of the RoboRIO's ports and you'll be able to view it on any dashboard of your choice.
• Elastic Dashboard Support
  • Added support of Elastic Dashboard. The current dashboard layout can be found here.
• Gamepad Support
  • Added support for controlling Narwhal team's mechanisms with a logitech controller. Currently support is in place for the climber mechanism and wrist.
• Narwhal Mechanisms
  • Added a NarwhalClimber to control the climber mechanism on the Narwhal's upper assembly.
• UpperAssembly Interface
  • Added a new UpperAssembly interface and UpperAssemblyBase abstract class to seamlessly integrate both the Squid and Narwhal mechanisms together.

🛠️ Enhancements

• Squid Mechanisms
  • Tuned PID values for several mechanisms, allowing for more responsive and fluid mechanism control.

📝 Code Quality

• Improved comment quality, ensuring consistency and descriptiveness.
• Unified util and utils into util, organizing related files under subfolders.

Breaking Changes

• Unified util and utils into util, organizing related files under subfolders.

Usage Notes

For Drive Team:

• Narwhal and Squid Enhancements
  • The Narwhal mechanisms are now much more comprehensive. Expect them to control smoothly
  • The Squid mechanisms should be more fluid and responsive.
  • Upper assembly type currently has to be changed in the code. If you need this adjusted, let Autonomy team know.

For Developers:

• Comment Improvements
  • Everything should be much more comprehensibly documented, making development much easier.
• Util Folder Reorganization
  • The util folder was reorganized to be easier to navigate. Related files are now grouped together. Make sure you update new imports acordingly.
