Robot Firmware FRC 2025

Features

• Primary firmware in Python
• Experimental firmwares with LuaJIT FFI and C++
• Build automation and testing
• Phoenix6 powered drivetrain

Get the Code

Git is required for development. Cloning should be possible inside vscode, or use the command line:

git clone https://github.com/snidercs/frc-bot-2025.git
# ... or if you have write access ...
git clone git@github.com:snidercs/frc-bot-2025.git

Code Style & Best Practices

Please follow the code style as best as you can. See docs/codestyle.md for details.

Building

Requirements

All platforms need to have the latest WPIlib installed as well as Python. If you're wanting to dabble in Lua and build-systems development, then you'll also need Meson and CMake.

Linux

Development using Linux is highly recommended as all the tools are readily available. The following command will install the above (minus wpilib) plus some extras needed for compiling WPIlib directly.

sudo apt install build-essential gcc-multilib g++-multilib cmake python3 python3-pip meson protobuf-compiler libprotobuf-dev libprotoc-dev libopencv-dev clang

macOS

• python: Robotpy recommends the official installer.
• Commandline Tools: Provided by Xcode
• Homebrew: For anything not alredy provided

Windows

• python: Robotpy recommends the official installer.
• Visual Studio: For the C++ compiler.

LuaJIT ffi bindings

The primary firmware is in python to start with, while the others are needed for the development of LuaJIT ffi bindings.

• Gradle (C++)
• Meson (C++ / LuaJIT)
• Docker (CI / misc)

Robotpy

• Robotpy (python)

cd frc-bot-2025/pybot
robotpy sync # This will Download RoboRIO requirements and installs requirements locally
robotpy deploy --skip-tests # To avoid all of the dumb questions
# or
robotpy sim # To run the simulator
