SIM-02: Your own robot in the simulator, from Robot.java

high prioritySimulator only (no robot needed)about 40 minSimulator

• Your robot needs: any robot.
• Starter bots that fit: goBILDA starter bot, REV DUO starter bot, AndyMark Robits starter bot, Studica starter bot.
• Library version: v0.16.0 or newer.
• The docs it tests: The simulator: a pretend Control Hub and Driver Hub, Lesson 1: The robot in five files.

Why

:sim:fromRobot writes a simulator robot file from your own Robot.java. Robots are all different, so this is where we learn which parts the simulator gets wrong or cannot draw.

Setup

• Your robot in five files in your TeamCode, with the library in the robot project.
• SIM-01 works on this laptop.

Steps

1. In the ftc-helper-lib folder: ./gradlew :sim:fromRobot -PteamCode=../TeamCode.
2. Open simulator/robot.properties in your robot project. Read the TODO lines; fill in the robot's size if you know it.
3. ./gradlew :sim:run -PteamCode=../TeamCode, open http://localhost:8780.
4. INIT your TeleOp, read the button map, START, drive, and use every part.
5. Run your autonomous. Read the report at the end.
6. Draw your parts with looks(...) shapes (how) if you want pieces to be picked up and shot.

Pass rule

:sim:fromRobot finishes with no error, and every part in Robot.java (all of them, for example 6 of 6) shows in the simulator's Motors or Servos panel and responds to its button.

Record

Write these down while you test. The report form has them as a list to fill in.

• your parts (the add(...) lines, or a list)
• any part that did not show or did not move
• errors from :sim:fromRobot (copy them)
• what was hard in step 2 or step 6

If your robot is different

That is the point of this test: describe what is unusual (a part the library has no module for, a custom Module, odd device names). Things the simulator cannot do are listed in the simulator guide: say if you hit one.

Report your result

Pass, fail, or could not run: every result helps. The form opens on GitHub with this test filled in (a free GitHub account is needed). No student names, please.

Report result

No reports for this test yet: yours would be the first. Every test's reports.
