WPILib

WPILib is developed by volunteers at Worcester Polytechnic Institute and is a library of classes that help make FRC programming eaiser.

• WPILib provides ​4 frameworks for building robot programs. In GettingStarted, we built our first programs using the TimedRobot (previously had been IterativeRobot) framework . For competition, 2537 uses the command based robot framework.

• Command Based Framework
• Command Group Programming
