Simple but powerful libraries for FTC

Get Started

NextFTC

Easy to use

NextFTC offers numerous built-in features so you don't need to write everything yourself. When you write code with NextFTC, we want it to feel magical, and like everything "just works."

Gamepad Integration

NextBindings, our bindings library, has complex gamepad integration, including binding callbacks to buttons, rising and falling edge detection, automatic gamepad polling, and even joystick curving!

Control

NextControl, our solution to control in FTC, makes complex control easy. With features such as PID control, feedforward, motion profiling, and even Kalman filters, you can control your robot exactly how you want to, with seamless integration with the rest of NextFTC.

Commands

Commands are units of code that can be executed. They consist of several steps and can be grouped into command groups, allowing them to run sequentially or simultaneously, allowing you to create complex routines.

PedroPathing

NextFTC integrates with PedroPathing, an autonomous pathing library. We are also currently working on built-in integration with RoadRunner.

Docs overview

These docs have two main parts: the guide and a section for each library.

The guide is designed to teach you the basics of NextFTC using a few of our most popular libraries.

Each NextFTC library also has a section on these docs specific to that library:

A note on these docs

NextFTC was written in Kotlin, a JVM programming language. You can use either Kotlin or Java, but there are small advantages to using Kotlin. Each section with code examples will offer both Kotlin and Java tabs. It's recommended to choose one language for your project to avoid compatibility issues.

To use Kotlin, configure it in your project. I recommend the Kotlin Gradle Plugin version 1.9.0. (Kotlin is pre-installed in the Quickstart template.)
