Sep 1, 2025September 2025 highlights for nerdherd/Reefscape2025: Key features delivered include the ClimbV2 overhaul, Pivot/Ground Intake tuning, and a Build System cleanup. The ClimbV2 subsystem was introduced with improved PID control, motor configuration, and status reporting, followed by stabilization work (reworks and controlled rollbacks) to ensure reliability. Pivot and Ground Intake tuning refined pivot mechanics, CANdi sensor configuration, gear ratio adjustments, and PID parameters for improved accuracy and responsiveness. Build system setup and cleanup updated the GradleRIO configuration and removed unused imports to reduce build fragility. Business value: higher climb reliability, more precise manipulation, and faster iteration cycles due to a cleaner build pipeline. Technologies demonstrated: PID control, CAN integration, hardware tuning (gear ratios, CANdi), GradleRIO-based builds, and code hygiene/release management.
