Welcome to the Programming Page!
About Us
The programming team of Rocket Robotics strives to make sure the robot does what it's supposed to do. We are the reason the robot knows to fire the catapult if you press a button. We tell the robot what to do because the robot is a clump of aluminum and copper if we don't let it know what to do. Our programming team currently has three veteran members and three new members.
Why are we Important?
Programming tells the robot when and what to do. We use a visual programming language called LabView to program the roboRIO. The roboRIO is the "Brain" of the robot. The robots can not function without a program. The programs in FRC robots can get complicated and that is why we need to discuss with other teams about it. For example, Design and Manufacturing are able to plan out what they are planning to do regarding the robot. Then the programmers go into LabView with the concept and experiment on how to accomplish the task Design is telling us they need the robot to complete. Without Programming, the robotics team simply could not compete.
