Programming Language

We will be using FRC Labview software and provided libraries for programming the robot.

Software Development Method

We will be using the Scrum methodology, which a method of agile software development. We will have a brief 15-minute meeting at the beginning of each day we meet and team members will report on:

  • what they did since the last meeting,
  • what they are planning to do next, and
  • what obstacles, if any, are preventing them from completing their tasks.

The product backlog will come from whole Team 1640 meetings which will provide a prioritized list of high-level desired features for the robot. During a sprint planning meeting, we will choose the highest priority features and break them into programming tasks, which will become our sprint backlog. Our sprints will last approximately 7 days; a sprint review meeting will be held at the end of the sprint to demo the working software and get feedback. Sprint planning and sprint review meetings will be held on weekends.
