This year's Starter Bot program offers a slightly more technical solution than previous years. If your team is new to FTC, or in need of a review, we strongly recommend checking out our updated before diving in!
To begin, let's take a look at the configuration and actuators used in this year's design.
Before getting started with programming we needed to create a . Below is an overview of how the robot is configured for the TeleOp code to function as expected:
