The WPILib is the core FRC library that the programming team uses to create code for the robots. By installing the WPILib you get:

  • VSCode, which is an integrated development environment (IDE) that works best with the WPILib
  • Java JDK
  • Gradle
  • Tools (SmartDashboard, Shuffleboard, etc.)

Follow the instructions in the WPILib Docs to install the WPILib and VS Code (we use the recommended settings).
