Eric Ratliff 81452a8670 Initial release: FTC Project Generator
Generate clean, testable FTC robot projects with proper separation from SDK bloat.

Features:
- Composite build setup - one shared SDK, multiple clean projects
- Subsystem pattern with hardware interfaces for easy testing
- JUnit scaffolding - tests run on PC without robot
- Minimal project structure (~50KB vs 200MB SDK)
- Support for multiple FTC SDK versions

Philosophy: Your code should be YOUR code. SDK is just a dependency.

Built by Nexus Workshops for FTC teams tired of fighting the standard structure.

# Troubleshooting
## Error: "Project with path ':RobotCore' not found"
**Symptom:**
```
FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.
* What went wrong:
Project with path ':RobotCore' not found in build ':ftc-sdk'.
```
**Cause:** FTC SDK was not cloned or is at wrong location.
**Solution:**
1. Check if SDK exists:
```bash
ls ~/ftc-sdk
# Should show: FtcRobotController, RobotCore, Hardware, etc.
```
2. If SDK doesn't exist, clone it:
```bash
git clone --depth 1 --branch v10.1.1 \
https://github.com/FIRST-Tech-Challenge/FtcRobotController.git \
~/ftc-sdk
```
3. Check your project's `gradle.properties`:
```bash
cat gradle.properties
# Should show: ftcSdkDir=/home/yourusername/ftc-sdk
```
4. Update if path is wrong:
```bash
echo "ftcSdkDir=$HOME/ftc-sdk" > gradle.properties
```
5. Try again:
```bash
./gradlew test
```
## Error: Can't find SDK at specified path
**Solution:** Set environment variable:
```bash
export FTC_SDK_DIR=~/ftc-sdk
./gradlew test
```
Or edit `gradle.properties` in your project.
## SDK exists but wrong version
**Solution:** Update SDK to correct version:
```bash
cd ~/ftc-sdk
git fetch --tags
git checkout v10.1.1 # or whatever version you need
```
## Fresh Start
If all else fails:
```bash
# Remove old SDK
rm -rf ~/ftc-sdk
# Remove old project
rm -rf my-project
# Start fresh
ftc-new-project my-project
# Verify SDK was cloned
ls ~/ftc-sdk
# Test
cd my-project
./gradlew test
```
## Verify Setup
Run this diagnostic:
```bash
#!/bin/bash
echo "=== FTC Setup Diagnostic ==="
echo ""
echo "1. SDK Directory:"
ls -la ~/ftc-sdk 2>/dev/null || echo " ✗ SDK not found at ~/ftc-sdk"
echo ""
echo "2. SDK Modules:"
ls ~/ftc-sdk/RobotCore 2>/dev/null && echo " ✓ RobotCore found" || echo " ✗ RobotCore missing"
ls ~/ftc-sdk/Hardware 2>/dev/null && echo " ✓ Hardware found" || echo " ✗ Hardware missing"
echo ""
echo "3. Project gradle.properties:"
cat gradle.properties 2>/dev/null || echo " ✗ No gradle.properties in current dir"
echo ""
echo "4. Environment:"
echo " FTC_SDK_DIR=$FTC_SDK_DIR"
```
Save as `check-setup.sh` and run it in your project directory.
