3.0 - Guide to the Advanced Section

After learning the most basic aspects of robot programming, it’s time to move into the next section of programming. Advanced style, architectures, and “best practices” that are beyond the scope of the introductory section are listed here.

Oftentimes, this section will have code that goes beyond the documentation provided by WPILib and is much less objective - however, it offers a more complete solution to writing robot code. In theory, this section should contain all of the knowledge needed to fully program a robot.

Each of these sections focuses on a different part of writing robot code, and is developed through practice and real use. Some of these sections are recommendations purely about code structure, others deal with real solutions to problems and advice for features.

Important

Because of the nature of this section, this is not an absolute set of instructions for programming. It’s better to write code that works well for your situation than force a different architecture.
