During February 2025, Hugo Labonté developed the initial pivot motor control system for the frc78/2025-robot repository, focusing on establishing a reliable foundation for precise angular manipulation. He implemented a leader-follower configuration using two TalonFX motors and leveraged MotionMagic to enable smooth, accurate pivot positioning. By integrating soft limits and feedback mechanisms, Hugo ensured safe operation and prevented out-of-range errors, while careful PID tuning provided stable control. Working primarily in Java and Kotlin, he applied his expertise in control systems, embedded systems, and robotics to deliver robust hardware integration that supports future feature development and enhances the predictability of pivot motion.
