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 controls, enabling precise autonomous and manual operation. The work included subsystem development for drivetrain, climb, and intake mechanisms, with a focus on modular configuration and command-based frameworks. Chen enhanced telemetry and diagnostics through logging and odometry, supporting faster troubleshooting and data-driven tuning. The codebase reflects careful attention to maintainability, with refactored constants, improved subsystem initialization, and robust sensor integration for reliable multi-mechanism coordination.
