In April 2025, Sam Furlongan developed a tactile feedback enhancement for the Reefscape2025 control system, focusing on embedded systems and robotics using Java. Sam implemented a rumble feedback feature that provides drivers with tactile confirmation during height selection and scoring mode changes, addressing usability and safety concerns in competitive environments. The solution included creating a reusable rumble command utility, which was integrated across multiple control sequences within the robototes/Reefscape2025 repository. This approach improved operator awareness and reduced the likelihood of mis-selections, demonstrating a thoughtful application of embedded systems principles to enhance real-time human-machine interaction in robotics control workflows.

In April 2025, delivered tactile feedback enhancement for Reefscape2025 control system and established a reusable rumble command utility. Implemented Rumble Feedback for Robot Control System, enabling rumble feedback during height selection and scoring mode changes to provide drivers with tactile confirmation. Created a dedicated rumble utility method and integrated it across control sequences, improving operator awareness and reducing mis-selections. This work aligns with safety and usability goals, enabling more intuitive control and faster decision-making during competitions.
