WPILib Roadmap, Feedback, and Q&A
Presenter: Peter Johnson, WPILib
In May 2022, WPILib released its first long-term roadmap, and it’s recently been updated for 2024! The roadmap outlines the current and potential future directions the development team is looking to take the software library that is used by over 90% of FRC teams. We will review the roadmap, including accomplishments over the last few years, and talk about the future improvements we are most excited about. We hope this will be an interactive discussion and a good chance for attendees to provide feedback on what you find most important!
