Alyssa Acker developed autonomous navigation and targeting features for Team302/2025Reefscape, focusing on robust path planning, vision-based targeting, and dynamic field awareness. She engineered modules in C++ and Python to handle orientation logic, trajectory generation, and XML-driven configuration, enabling the robot to adapt to new game elements like ALGAE and coral lanes. Alyssa refactored drive logic for modularity, improved data logging for debugging, and introduced zone-based segmentation to enhance mission planning. Her work included codebase maintenance, schema definition, and deployment workflows, resulting in a scalable, maintainable robotics software foundation that addressed navigation reliability and future extensibility requirements.

February 2025 performance summary for Team302/2025Reefscape. Delivered end-to-end path and trajectory infrastructure with XML-driven test paths, resolved path alignment and timeout issues, and deployed path updates. Added coral lane XML assets for BlueRight, BlueLeft, and RedLeft lanes. Improved maintainability through naming refinements, camera-specific enums, and auton selector improvements; completed codebase cleanup and reorganization. Added BlueCenter auton and updated DTD to prevent errors. Implemented Zone update option support and path update logic to enable dynamic path recalculation. Strengthened safety with boundary-check utility and trajectory merging fixes. Introduced XML/path configuration scaffolding to standardize batch operations and default behavior. Removed legacy RESET_POSITION_PATH_PLANNER_NO_VISION flag to reduce fragility.
