Getting Started

RobotPy WPILib is a set of libraries that are used on your roboRIO to enable you to use Python as your main programming language for FIRST Robotics robot development. It includes support for almost all components that are supported by WPILib's Java implementation.

You can run RobotPy-based programs either on your computer or on a robot. There are a lot of different ways you can get started with RobotPy, but we recommend the following steps:

  • Install the Robot Simulator and related tools <install_pyfrc>
  • Learn how to write Python-based robot code via anatomy and the various sections of the programmer's guide <programmers_guide>

Once you've played around with some code in simulation, then you should install RobotPy on your robot <install_robotpy>.

If you're looking to use pynetworktables on the driver station or on a coprocessor, then check out the pynetworktables install docs <install_pynetworktables>.
