Design Principles​

  • Quick to get going. EZ-Template should make it easy to learn and use. Anything is achievable by users, even if it takes them more code and more time to write.
  • Intuitive. Users will not feel overwhelmed when looking at an EZ-Template project or adding new features. It should look intuitive and easy to build on top of.
  • Sensible Defaults. Common and popular performance optimizations and configurations will be done for users, but only with the option to override them.

We believe that, as developers, knowing how a library works helps us become better at using it. We're dedicating effort to creating tutorials and documentation with the hope that reading it will gain the user a deeper understanding of the tool, and become even more proficient in using it.

RECF Student Centered Policy​

note

EZ-Template is a tool, not a shortcut. Like any tool, it requires understanding to use effectively — a wrench doesn't fix your robot if you don't know what's loose. Per G4c of the Game Manual, teams using third-party libraries must understand their competition code, be able to explain it, and be capable of writing equivalent code independently. EZ-Template's docs, source code, and examples are all written with this in mind — the goal is for students to actually learn, not just copy and paste. If an event partner asks you to explain your autonomous, you should be able to.

Please always reference the RECF's Student Centered Policy and the Override game manual.​
