Over three months, 10586@stjoebears.com developed and refined autonomous control and subsystem integration for the FRC3620_2025_Akula_Mic repository, focusing on elevator, arm, end-effector, and algae collection mechanisms. Using Java and JSON, they implemented command-based programming to deliver features such as inches-based elevator control, PID-tuned motion, and robust operator interfaces. Their work included autonomous navigation enhancements, vision-based pose calibration, and safety improvements for climbing and collection routines. By addressing both hardware interfacing and software reliability, they delivered stable, field-ready automation that reduced manual intervention, improved throughput, and ensured safe, deterministic operation across complex robotics subsystems.

April 2025 focused on stabilizing autonomous operations and safety-critical subsystems for FRC3620_FRC3620_2025_Akula_Mic, delivering concrete features, targeted fixes, and performance improvements that translate to higher reliability in field scoring and collection tasks. Key outcomes include a refactored autonomous path planning and algae collection workflow with updated waypoint logic, precise vision pose calibration to improve perception reliability, more robust climbing control, and tuned AFI subsystem responsiveness to meet dynamic pivot demands. A rollback of an untested shoulder interlock fix was performed to maintain system safety and stability.
