## What it is
WPILib is the official software library suite for programming robots in the FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC) and FIRST Tech Challenge (FTC). This repository contains the core libraries including the hardware abstraction layer (HAL), CameraServer, Command-based framework, NetworkTables (NTCore), WPIMath, and support for Java, C++, and Python robot programs.

## Use cases
- write robot code for FRC competition robots
- interface with motor controllers and sensors on the roboRIO
- stream camera images with CameraServer
- share robot data with dashboards via NetworkTables
- simulate robot programs without hardware
- use command-based robot programming framework
- build FTC robot control software
- learn robotics programming as a student team

## When to choose
- you are an FRC or FTC team programming the official FIRST control system
- you need hardware abstraction for roboRIO or Systemcore devices
- you want language parity across Java, C++, and Python for robot code
- you need simulation support for testing robot logic without hardware

## When to avoid
- you are building robots outside the FIRST ecosystem
- you need a general-purpose robotics middleware like ROS
- your hardware is not part of the FRC/FTC Kit of Parts control system

## Facets
- artifact type: library
- maturity: stable
- function: sdk, simulation, networking, image-processing, math
- domain: robotics, embedded-systems, education, developer-tools
- platform: cpp, jvm, python, windows, cross-platform, embedded
- tags: frc, first-robotics, wpilib, roborio, ntcore, cscore, hal, robot-programming, ftc, hardware-interfacing, linux, macos
