During a two-month period, Jacob Bonis focused on enhancing the reliability and precision of swerve drive systems for competitive robotics. Working in Java within the 2202Programming/PriorBots and 2202Programming/FRC2025 repositories, he addressed critical bugs affecting drive module alignment and orientation. Jacob delivered targeted corrections to the back-left and front-right swerve modules, improving both autonomous and teleoperated movement accuracy. His work involved embedded systems and robotics calibration, resulting in more predictable robot trajectories and reduced control drift. These changes established a foundation for repeatable calibration processes, supporting robust drive-system performance and reducing setup time for future events and demonstrations.

In 2025-07, the team focused on calibrations to ensure reliable robot orientation and movement. The key deliverable was a bug fix: recalibrated the Front-Right module offset angle to correct an initial orientation error observed after the parade, restoring accurate movement and control. The change was implemented in 2202Programming/FRC2025 and committed as f1d7c7222d694fa6c73dccbe1574018c7e77f794. This work improves pose estimation fidelity, reduces control drift during demonstrations, and enhances readiness for future events.
