Team 177 & 429 | Bobcat Robotics Program | 2026-2027 Build Thread
Bobcat SystemClone: Getting a Head Start Before SystemCore Ships No Systemcore? No problem. Every summer, we run developer projects to get our programmers comfortable with whatever WPILib has changed before the season actually starts. This year that meant getting hands-on with the new Systemcore-based control system early — except Systemcore isn’t available for teams to purchase yet, and FIRST hasn’t given a timeline for when that changes. Rather than wait around for an ETA, we built our own....

Apropos of everything here’s my uninformed idea for alignment: homeostatic mechanisms (control systems / cybernetics) that force a system to optimize for satiation and normal-range variation (rather than maximization) across a set of goals such that, if any one of them were…— Tom Costello (@tomstello_) September 9, 2026

You don't really need to be good at prompting anymore. The thing to get good at is the loop that does the prompting for you. It's five building blocks plus s...
