During a three-month period, Chen developed core robotics software for the femaidens/2025-Reefscape repository, establishing a Gradle-based build system and foundational robot architecture in Java. Chen implemented swerve drive configuration, NavX sensor integration, and joystick-driven control, enabling precise autonomous and teleoperated maneuvers. The work included subsystem development for drivetrain, climb, and intake mechanisms, with a focus on modular configuration and command-based frameworks. Chen enhanced diagnostics through logging and telemetry, supporting faster troubleshooting and data-driven tuning. By refactoring constants and improving subsystem initialization, Chen delivered a maintainable, scalable codebase that supports reliable multi-mechanism coordination and robust control system development.
