The NUbots development process is a combination of in-person and remote collaboration, supported by online collaboration tools.
Meetings and Lab Work
We hold weekly meetings in the NUbots lab at Friday 12-1pm, with the option to call in via Zoom. The meeting time may change based on team members' availabilities.
Team members have dedicated work spaces in the lab where they work at various times during the week.
Online Communication
We use Slack for team communication. You will be invited to our Slack workspace when you join the team.
Development
We use GitHub for development and code collaboration. All NUbots code can be found on our GitHub page.
The main repositories are:
- NUbots - C++ codebase that runs on a real or simulated robot and NUsight, the web-based debugging environment we used to understand and improve our systems.
- NUbook - Our team handbook, which you are viewing now! Built with Gatsby and deployed using Netlify.
- NUWebots - Controllers, models and worlds for Webots, a robotics simulator.
- NUcontroller - Subcontroller firmware.
- NUware - CAD models, PCB schematics and other hardware design files.
To contribute code to NUbots, you will need to create a GitHub account. You will be added to the GitHub organisation when you join the team.
