Worked on the Comet-Robotics/chessBot repository to enhance deployment flexibility by implementing an environment-driven startup configuration for robot positioning. Developed a feature using Node.js, JavaScript, and TypeScript that introduces the START_ROBOTS_AT_DEFAULT environment variable, allowing robots to initialize at either default or home positions based on deployment needs. Refactored the setupDefaultRobotPositions logic to support conditional movement and an optional map of default positions, improving testability and environment-specific behavior. Clarified the use of UpdateTunnelPosition to ensure it is exclusively applied to virtual robots, reducing ambiguity in tunnel routing and supporting more maintainable, predictable deployments without disrupting existing system behavior.
