Robotpy Setup

BC Robotics (Team #4504) has designed their 2024 FIRST Robotics submission using Robotpy with the MagicBot Framework. To keep the relevant libraries current, the following code will need to be run regularly in a terminal interface:

python -m pip install --upgrade pip
python -m pip install robotpy wpilib
robotpy installer download-python
robotpy installer install-python
robotpy sync
robotpy installer download robotpy[all]
robotpy installer install robotpy[all]

Robot Controls

GameSir G7 Wired Controller

• Input device ID 0
• Left Joystick (Lx, Ly): Controls the robot's movement in the field. The X-axis (Lx) translates to movement in the x-direction while the Y-axis translates to movement in the y-direction.
• Right Joystick (Rx): Controls the robot's rotation on the field. The X-axis (Rx) influences the angular velocity of the robot.
• Right Trigger (RT): Engages the launcher to shoot.
• Left Trigger (LT): Engages auto-alignment with the AprilTag. When pressed beyond a certain threshold(.35), it activates the alignment process for precise targeting.
• Y Button: Positions the intake to score in the amp.
• B Button: Deactivates the front camera, raises the intake.
• A Button: Activates the front camera and lowers the intake.

Autonomous Operation

Our autonomous plan is as follows...

1. Backup to shooting positon
2. Shoot preloaded game piece
3. Backup 2.75844 meters to exit community
