Over six months, this developer enhanced the 2202Programming/PriorBots repository by refactoring command architectures, tuning control systems, and expanding autonomous capabilities. They replaced legacy command structures with updated frameworks in Java, improving maintainability and future compatibility. Their work included PID tuning for cycloidal drives, robust drivetrain refactors, and the introduction of waypoint-driven autonomous routines, all aimed at increasing precision and reliability. They also streamlined build tools, managed dependencies, and improved documentation for better onboarding and testing. By addressing both hardware and software integration, the developer demonstrated depth in embedded systems, control systems, and robotics programming, resulting in more stable and adaptable codebases.

December 2025 focused on stabilizing and enhancing the Cycloidal Drive control loop in PriorBots. Delivered a consolidated PID tuning rollout for velocity and position controllers, including parameter refinements, introduction of IZone constraints, and improved monitoring for real-time visibility. This work improves responsiveness, precision, and movement control, while laying a stronger foundation for reliable autonomous operation.
