Overview =
For new students, mentors, and students on other sub-teams, these links provide an overview of what the Control Systems team does and how it does it. The goal is to provide a clear understanding of the terminology you will encounter in FRC, what goes into controlling a robot, and an appreciation for how software works (without actually learning to program).
Getting Started
New software students and mentors should start here
Intermediate Training
After you've completed Software 101, deepen your knowledge of Java and WPILib in the Java Gym?
Advanced Topics
When you've mastered Java and WPILib, you're ready for Advanced Training?
Other Programming Topics
Java Interfacing
Robots operate real world and must be able to sense their environment and manipulate it. If you want to learn more about using Java to interact with real devices at home, but can't afford to buy a roboRIO consider buying an inexpensive Raspberry Pi computer and using it. The ZebraZero platform and exercises help you learn to use Java to interface with sensors and control motors; try the Zebra Zero Training
Python Programming
Programing Languages are like tools; a screwdriver isn't better than a hammer, you just use them for different things. While 2537 doesn't use Python (and it isn't widely used for FRC programming), it's a popular language that can be very effective for certain problems; if you want to learn more, try our Intro To Programming (in python)
