User code:
- OpModeRobot used as the robot base class
- LinearOpMode and PeriodicOpMode are provided opmode base classes
- In Java, annotations can be used to automatically register opmode classes
Additional user code functionality:
- OpMode (string) is available in addition to the overall
auto/teleop/test robot mode
- OpMode does not indicate enable (enable/disable is still separate)
- The HAL API uses integer UIDs; these are exposed at the user API level
as well for faster checks
- User code creates opmodes on startup (these have name, category,
description, etc).
DS:
- DS will present opmode selection lists for auto and teleop for
match/practice. During a match, the DS will automatically activate the
selected opmode in the corresponding match period.
- For testing, an overall mode is selected (e.g. teleop/auto/test) and a
single opmode is selected
Future work:
- Command framework support/integration
- Python annotation support
- Unit tests (needs race-free DS sim updates)
- Porting of examples

Putting an early exit if statement at the top instead of wrapping the
whole file contents unbreaks unit test configs, as was discovered for
SysId. It reduces nesting as well.
Unused plugins were removed from the beginnings of files as well.
This reuses many pieces of the current simulation GUI. The common pieces have
been refactored into the libglass library.
The libglass library is designed to be usable for other standalone data
visualization applications (e.g. viewing data logs).
The name "glass" comes from "glass cockpit", as the application features
several multi-function displays that can be adjusted to display robot
information as needed.
The wpimath library is a new library designed to separate the reusable math functionality
from the common utility library (wpiutil) and the hardware-dependent library (wpilibc/j).
Package names / include file names were NOT changed to minimize breakage. In a future year
it would be good to revamp these for a more uniform user experience and to reduce the risk
of accidental naming conflicts.
While theoretically all of this functionality could be placed into wpiutil, several pieces
of this library (e.g. DARE) are very time-consuming to compile, so it's nice to avoid this
expense for users who only want cscore or ntcore. It also allows for easy future separation
of build tasks vs number of workers on memory-constrained machines.
This moves the following functionality from wpiutil into wpimath:
- Eigen
- ejml
- Drake
- DARE
- wpiutil.math package (Matrix etc)
- units
And the following functionality from wpilibc/j into wpimath:
- Geometry
- Kinematics
- Spline
- Trajectory
- LinearFilter
- MedianFilter
- Feed-forward controllers
This uses Dear Imgui to provide a cross-platform integrated GUI for robot
simulation. The GUI provides fully integrated DS and joystick support so it's
not necessary to run the official DS.
