Best Practices

In this guide, we document best practices for tools and programming standards for FRC.

Reasons for these best practices include:

• Keeping logic reliable
• Staying organized, so that making changes down the line is easier and more accessible
• Encouraging simple design through code architecture
• Making code readable and maintainable

Why standardize code?

• Make it easier for new programmers to succeed; reduce the number of things to learn
• Make it harder to make mistakes - encourage good practice through standardization
• Reduce debugging times - strong practices and simplification help to prevent bugs
