Volunteer Systems
FRCFTCFLL

Volunteer scheduling and management platform used by FIRST event organizers. Allows volunteers to sign up for event roles, tracks assignments, and sends event communications.

Current
FTCScout
Rookie FriendlyFTC

FTC equivalent of The Blue Alliance. Tracks team statistics, match results, and rankings across FTC events. Includes OPR/NP calculations and team-level breakdowns.

Current
PathPlanner
Rookie FriendlyFRC

Desktop app for designing and generating FRC autonomous paths. Supports holonomic and differential drivetrains, event markers, and path constraints. Widely used across teams.

Current
Onshape
VendorRookie FriendlyFRCFTC

Browser-based professional CAD platform heavily adopted by FRC and FTC teams. Supports real-time collaboration, version history, and a large library of FIRST-specific part libraries (MKCAD, etc.).

Current
FRC Nexus
FRC

Event management tool for FRC competitions. Provides team queuing, pit scouting forms, and match-day communication tools. Used by event staff to keep pit and queuing areas running smoothly.

Current
Road Runner
FTC

Motion profiling library for FTC robots. Generates smooth, time-optimal trajectories for mecanum and tank drivetrains. The dominant FTC autonomous library; requires tuning but delivers reliable paths.

Current
PhotonVision
Rookie FriendlyFRC

Open-source FRC vision processing pipeline that runs on a coprocessor (Raspberry Pi, Orange Pi, etc.). Detects AprilTags and game pieces; integrates with WPILib pose estimation.

Current
AdvantageScope
FRC

Desktop telemetry viewer and log analyzer for FRC robots. Supports WPILib DataLog files, live NetworkTables streaming, 3D field visualization, and custom dashboard tabs.

Current
FRCDesign.org
Rookie FriendlyFRC

Comprehensive mechanical design guide for FRC teams. Covers drivetrain design, game piece mechanisms, CAD practices, and manufacturing. Includes worked examples and Onshape templates.

Current
ScoutingPASS
Rookie FriendlyFRC

QR-code-based FRC scouting system. Teams configure a JSON file to define their scouting sheet; apps generate QR codes that can be scanned into a spreadsheet without internet.

Current
REV Hardware Client
VendorRookie FriendlyFRC

Desktop application for configuring and updating REV Robotics devices (SPARK MAX, SPARK Flex, Power Distribution Hub). Also provides real-time telemetry and motor tuning.

Current
EOCV-Sim
FTC

OpenCV simulation environment for FTC vision pipelines. Run and debug EasyOpenCV pipelines on a desktop without a robot. Supports live camera feeds and image injection for testing.

Current
Choreo
FRC

Trajectory optimizer for FRC robots. Uses physics-based optimization to generate time-optimal paths that respect wheel force limits, producing smoother and faster autos than geometric planners.

Current
recalc
Rookie FriendlyFRC

A web-based mechanical design calculator built for FRC teams to assist with calculations for mechanical subsystems and components. Designed with collaboration features to support team design processes.

scoutradioz
Rookie FriendlyFRC

Scoutradioz is a multi-team FRC scouting application developed by Team 102 (The Gearheads) and hosted on AWS, enabling teams to collect and analyze match data collaboratively during competitions.

synthesis
VendorRookie FriendlyFRC

Autodesk Synthesis is a robotics simulator that integrates with Autodesk Fusion 360 to allow FRC teams to test and validate robot designs in a virtual environment before building physical prototypes.

QDriverStation
FRC

An open-source, cross-platform alternative implementation of the official FRC Driver Station for controlling and communicating with FRC robots. Useful for teams needing a driver station on unsupported platforms or for development/testing purposes.

AdvantageKit
FRC

AdvantageKit is a logging and replay framework for FRC robots that enables teams to record match data and replay robot behavior for analysis and debugging. Designed for experienced programmers seeking advanced telemetry and simulation capabilities.

Pathfinder
FRC

Pathfinder is a motion profiling and trajectory generation library for FRC robots that enables smooth, optimized autonomous path planning across platforms. It provides advanced motion planning capabilities for teams implementing complex autonomous routines.

FRC 2017 Public
FRC

Team 254's open-source FRC 2017 Steamworks robot code, serving as a reference implementation and learning resource for competitive programming teams.
