Key Takeaway: Configuring code based on the RoboRIO allows for a single repo for all your robots in a season.

When building multiple robots in a season, such as alpha, practice, & competition robots, or sibling teams keeping software repos and branches up to date can be a challenge. We have begun writing our software to be configured based on the RoboRIO it is running on, allowing us to deploy identical code to multiple robots and ensure they all run correctly. We’ll also examine other features of the Spectrum codebase that enable various developers to work on different aspects of the software.
