ANTÆUS

Antaeus is a versatile framework based on Vexide that aims to be powerful for experts while still being easy to use for beginners.

Philosophy

Antaeus aims to be an easy to use, batteries-included framework for teams to easily implement. As Vex Robotics has become more competitive in the recent years, teams have been allocating lesser time for programmers to program their robots. This framework/library is designed to be easy and faster to implement.

Comparison with Evian

Evian is a complete framework based on Vexide as well that Antaeus was inspired by. It aims to be a extensible framework that is easy to use as well. However, Antaeus aims to be less extensible and more of an all-rounded framework, not only for autonomous motion but for advanced driver control operations. It is important that you carefully pick which library you would like to use before continuing.

A Notice before using Antaeus

It is important that you understand concepts used in this library such as Odometry and Pure Pursuit. This library aims to be simple to implement but expects you to understand these concepts before using it and therefore learn more in the process. Please do not just "plug in" this library and use it without thinking much. If you have new ideas, you are really really encouraged to contribute to this library and/or create your own library. More on contribution can be found in CONTRIBUTING.md.
