It would be good to have a bot designed to be driven by children and look flashy. This would be useful for outreach events, and gives us a chance to practice with WPILib Java, as well as allowing us to do dumb things like using guitar hero controllers. Everything should be controllable from one controller, with no shuffleboard confusion.
Planned Features:
[x] Adjustable speed with a locking mechanism
[x] Toggle-able field-oriented driving
[x] Music playing on TalonFXs/Falcon500s
[ ] Auto routines
[ ] Nice-looking individually addressable LED light strip patterns
[ ] Cameras
[ ] Guitar hero/wiimote/dance pad/steering wheel
Controller Layout:
Face Buttons (ABXY): used for various submenus selected by holding down a POV direction (hold down POV direction, then press face button to select option)
POV (D-Pad): used for menu selector:
Up = Auto Routines (spin in circles, dance, etc.)
Down = Drivetrain controls (turn on/off field oriented and brake/coast mode, reset field oriented)
A: Toggle field oriented mode
B: Toggle Brake/Coast mode
Y: Reset navX for field oriented
Left = Music selection, selects a music track to play on Falcon500s
