April 2025: Focused on robustness of end effector sensor data in Reefscape (gwhs/2025-Reefscape). Implemented End Effector Sensor Validation Fix and Threshold Tuning by disabling the sensor status validity check for coralLoaded and increasing the distance threshold from 15 to 30, substantially improving data processing reliability for automated reef-scanning and manipulation.

Month: 2025-02 — Reefscape project gwhs/2025-Reefscape. Key features delivered: Autonomous routine optimization for the 'c5' configuration, refactoring the autonomous routine to optimize path planning and execution for a five-cycle strategy. Introduced new commands for scoring and coral handling, and updated existing sequences to incorporate these actions. Result: improved efficiency and reliability of autonomous operations by refining path following and inter-command transitions. Commits: 658c84615647bc4e4a1bd4052e06a98d8e28d27d (#107).

January 2025 delivered a focused enhancement for Reefscape: Autonomous scoring preloading and scoring readiness. Implemented the SC_preloadScore autonomous routine that preloads and evaluates scoring during autonomous mode, with targeted path configuration refinements (nominal voltage and folder assignments) and a new Java class defining the autonomous path to refine scoring accuracy. All changes are tracked under commit 6042997c693ebfaa32ff1bfd56c282b45b397673 (Auton c1 (#32)). Overall impact: faster autonomous prep, more reliable scoring, and a stronger foundation for automated control in matches.
