Welcome

to NextFTC

Simple but powerful library for FTC

Easy to use

NextFTC offers numerous built-in commands so you don't need to write everything yourself like you do with FTCLib. Examples include running a motor to a position using a custom PID controller, following a path, or driving during TeleOp.

Gamepad Integration

NextFTC has complex gamepad integration, including binding commands to buttons, rising and falling edge detection, automatic gamepad polling, and even joystick curving!

Subsystems

Subsystems help you organize your code and prevent conflicts by ensuring that no two commands using the same subsystem run simultaneously.

Commands

Commands are units of code that can be executed. They consist of several steps and can be grouped into command groups, allowing them to run sequentially or simultaneously.

PedroPathing

NextFTC integrates with PedroPathing, an autonomous pathing library. Compared to Roadrunner, PedroPathing is faster, smoother, and easier to tune.

A note on these docs

NextFTC was written in Kotlin, a JVM programming language. You can use either Kotlin or Java, but there are small advantages to using Kotlin. Each section with code examples will offer both Kotlin and Java tabs. It's recommended to choose one language for your project to avoid compatibility issues.

To use Kotlin, configure it in your project. I recommend the Kotlin Gradle Plugin version 1.9.0. (Kotlin is pre-installed in the Quickstart template.)
