Command Based Robots

Structure Documentation:

Subsystem

+ Default Commands

  • Continuously executing until Interrupt

+ Relation To Robot

  • Subsystems can be compared to mechanisms that use the same overall resources
  • realize that two actions cannot occur at the same time, that require the same subsystem

+ Dependencies

  • Dependencies are created by the requires(Subsystem subsystem)
  • These prevent two different commands from utilizing the same resources on the robot

Commands

+ Interrupts

  • Called to stop a command from running
  • Specifically when robot is disabled or a dependency overlaps

+ Connection With Buttons

  • Commands can be easily mapped to buttons through the OI class

Input Class

+ Input Devices

  • Input devices are mapped through joystick and button objects

+ Button Actions

  • Commands can be mapped to buttons or triggers in the OI class

Robot Map

+ Ports

  • This class centralizes port numbers and connection numbers for robot-wide use

Command Groups

+ About

  • Command Groups are used for command sequencing and parallelizazation
  • Basically running things in a specific order or at the same time
  • think about automated actions

+ Sequential

  • TODO(testing)

+ Parallel

  • TODO(testing)
