Java Introduction
In FRC, Java is commonly used because it provides a strong balance between performance, reliability, ease of development, and accessibility for high school students. While robotics systems are often traditionally developed in C++ due to its low-level hardware control and faster execution speed, the practical demands of FRC are different from those of industrial or embedded robotics. The roboRIO hardware is powerful enough to run Java code efficiently for typical robot tasks such as drivetrain control, vision integration, autonomous routines, and mechanism coordination.
