Judging Overview

Basic information to share with judges about this project.

What this project is

This repository is MECO Robotics’ 2026 rebuilt robot codebase. It uses a command-based structure with reusable IO patterns, simulation support, and subsystem abstractions that make iteration faster during the season.

What it includes

  • A WPILib command-based robot project structure

  • Reusable subsystem and command patterns

  • Support for multiple hardware vendors and simulation modes

  • Configuration points for hardware IDs, gains, limits, and mechanism setup

  • Documentation for setup, configuration, troubleshooting, and iteration

Why it matters

  • It gives programmers a consistent structure to build on.

  • It makes debugging and maintenance easier during the season.

  • It reduces repeated setup work when subsystems change.

  • It helps new team members get productive faster.

What to tell judges

  • This codebase is structured to keep robot logic, hardware IO, and tuning separated.

  • The documentation is written to support both beginners and returning programmers.

  • The goal is faster bring-up, safer testing, and easier iteration during the season.

  • The project is maintained by MECO Robotics and builds on open-source FRC software patterns.
