RobotBase¶

class wpilib.RobotBase[source]¶

Bases: object

Implement a Robot Program framework.

The RobotBase class is intended to be subclassed by a user creating a robot program. Overridden autonomous() and operatorControl() methods are called at the appropriate time as the match proceeds. In the current implementation, the Autonomous code will run to completion before the OperatorControl code could start. In the future the Autonomous code might be spawned as a task, then killed at the end of the Autonomous period.

User code should be placed in the constructor that runs before the Autonomous or Operator Control period starts. The constructor will run to completion before Autonomous is entered.

Warning

If you override __init__ in your robot class, you must call the base class constructor. This must be used to ensure that the communications code starts.

free()[source]¶: Free the resources for a RobotBase class.

static initializeHardwareConfiguration()[source]¶: Common initialization for all robot programs.

isAutonomous()[source]¶

Determine if the robot is currently in Autonomous mode as determined by the field controls.

Returns:	True if the robot is currently operating Autonomously
Return type:	bool

isDisabled()[source]¶

Determine if the Robot is currently disabled.

Returns:	True if the Robot is currently disabled by the field controls.
Return type:	bool

isEnabled()[source]¶

Determine if the Robot is currently enabled.

Returns:	True if the Robot is currently enabled by the field controls.
Return type:	bool

isNewDataAvailable()[source]¶

Indicates if new data is available from the driver station.

Returns:	Has new data arrived over the network since the last time this function was called?
Return type:	bool

isOperatorControl()[source]¶

Determine if the robot is currently in Operator Control mode as determined by the field controls.

Returns:	True if the robot is currently operating in Tele-Op mode
Return type:	bool

static isReal()[source]¶

Returns:	If the robot is running in the real world.
Return type:	bool

static isSimulation()[source]¶

Returns:	If the robot is running in simulation.
Return type:	bool

isTest()[source]¶

Determine if the robot is currently in Test mode as determined by the driver station.

Returns:	True if the robot is currently operating in Test mode.
Return type:	bool

static main(robot_cls)[source]¶: Starting point for the applications.

startCompetition()[source]¶: Provide an alternate “main loop” via startCompetition().
