Programming

Programming is done in OnBotJava. 

There will be several programs we write.  We will have one TeleOp mode (controlling the robot with the gamepad), and several Auto (autonomous) programs where the robot will move in a pre-programmed fashion.

2025-26 Programs:

TeleOp - v1 - moves, strafes, intakes, shoots, 

next: use sensors to track goal and change direction of turret

Autonomous - v1 - moves, shoots

next: use sensor to detect April Tag, switch order of balls based on tag
