March 2025 performance highlights for AndromedaOneCode focus on delivering robust mobility, improved autonomy, and stronger diagnostics. Key mobility features were expanded (diagonal and backward movement), path navigation became fully functional, and targeting options were refined for more reliable field operations. Major stability improvements were achieved by addressing pose alignment, forward movement accuracy, and general reliability, while debugging tools and config refinements reduced diagnostic time. Autonomous behavior was enhanced with PathPlanner auto improvements and additional teleop scoring support. Overall, these efforts increased robot capability, reliability, and team throughput for feature delivery.
