The software application used by FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) teams to interface with and control their robot is critical for operation. This application, installed on a computer at the competition field, facilitates communication, monitoring, and execution of programmed commands during a match.
This crucial element allows teams to execute their strategies during competition. It provides a real-time view of robot telemetry, enables manipulation of robot functions via programmed controls or manual overrides, and logs data for post-match analysis. Its continued development has enabled increasingly complex control schemes and enhanced strategic gameplay within the FRC framework.
