Commander

Code Red Robotics' 2010 robot "Commander" rewritten in rust.

This is actually the second time that Commander has been revitalized, the first being in 2016 for testing purposes. This time was just because a mentor suggested it might be useful to have another robot driveable and I was looking for an excuse to write a robot in rust and test out first-rust-competition. At the moment it only has basic driving capabilities, but it was a good project to see how much potential rust has for use in FRC.

Commander is still using its original Victors, CIMs, and other drivetrain components, having recieved only a new PDP, VRM, RoboRio, and radio. Somehow, after 9 years in the corner of a closet, during which time the school flooded at least once and it was often scavenged for parts, it still ran without any technical difficulties on our first try.
