A number of teams have experienced an error that says "OpMode stuck in loop(); Restarting robot controller app." The short answer: upgrade to version 2.62 of the FTC App SDK. To understand what's going on, we need to dive into the SDK a bit.
Over time, the FTC Engineering team updates the FTC App SDK with new features and fixes. While they document the changes in short form in the repository's readme, here are the highlights and what they mean for you.
Some of the most popular motors and gearboxes are from the AndyMark NeveRest series. There are various gearbox options available from AndyMark, and a number of third party gearboxes can be used as well.
The following is a quick overview that should help you use the Linear OpMode to program your FTC robot. We assume you’re using Android Studio to write and build your programs. Want to contribute information related to another method, or make a correction?…
