Angela Zheng contributed to the Earl-Of-March-FRC/2025-7476-Reefscape repository by developing and modernizing autonomous navigation, control, and sensing systems for a robotics platform. She implemented alliance-aware pathfinding, dynamic pose estimation, and profiled PID controllers to improve autonomous precision and reliability. Angela refactored subsystems such as the arm and shooter for SparkMax integration, centralized configuration management, and enhanced telemetry for real-time debugging. Using Java and Python, she applied command-based programming, CAN Bus communication, and sensor integration to streamline operator input and subsystem control. Her work enabled faster iteration, safer operation, and a scalable codebase, demonstrating strong depth in robotics engineering.

March 2025 (Earl-Of-March-FRC/2025-7476-Reefscape) monthly performance review focused on delivering robust autonomous capabilities, improving launcher reliability, and enabling perceptive sensing. Key features delivered include alliance-aware pathfinding to the launch spot with a driver-controller A button trigger and new pathfinding constants; enhanced navigation to the barge launching zone with dynamic target poses and alliance-based target calculations; launcher telemetry improvements with velocity (rad/s) logging and PID/setpoint tuning; and arm color detection with a ColorHelpers utility. Major bugs fixed include corrected target rotation logic for barge zone navigation, PID-related issues in the launching path, a velocity setpoint typo, and enabling dynamic target poses via a Supplier for MoveToTargetPoseCmd to support real-time pose changes. Overall impact: the team reduced autonomous setup time, increased shot reliability and consistency, improved run-time telemetry for debugging, and expanded sensing capabilities. These changes enhance field readiness, scoring reliability, and debugging efficiency for rapid iteration. Technologies/skills demonstrated: autonomous navigation and pathfinding, alliance-aware pose logic, dynamic pose propulsion, PID tuning and telemetry, real-time target pose handling, and color sensing via a dedicated color-detection module and utilities.
