Worked on the lobstahbots/2025-Robot-Code repository, delivering two new features focused on robotics subsystem control. Developed enhancements for EndEffector motor control by parameterizing speed settings, enabling external command-driven operation and introducing Outtake and StopOuttake commands. Implemented a Ramp subsystem with defined speed and current limits, leveraging SparkMax hardware configuration and providing methods for precise ramp speed management and safe stopping. Applied a command-based architecture in Java to improve modularity and maintainability, while emphasizing clear commit practices. These updates established more reliable and scalable control pathways, supporting future automation and simplifying integration and maintenance for embedded robotics systems.
