Implements template-based project creation allowing teams to start with
professional example code instead of empty projects.
Features:
- Two templates: 'basic' (minimal) and 'testing' (45-test showcase)
- Template variable substitution ({{PROJECT_NAME}}, etc.)
- Template validation with helpful error messages
- `weevil new --list-templates` command
- Templates embedded in binary at compile time
Testing template includes:
- 3 complete subsystems (MotorCycler, WallApproach, TurnController)
- Hardware abstraction layer with mock implementations
- 45 comprehensive tests (unit, integration, system)
- Professional documentation (DESIGN_AND_TEST_PLAN.md, etc.)
Usage:
weevil new my-robot # basic template
weevil new my-robot --template testing # testing showcase
weevil new --list-templates # show available templates
This enables FTC teams to learn from working code and best practices
rather than starting from scratch.
All 62 tests passing.

- Template variable substitution ({{PROJECT_NAME}}, etc.)
- Template validation with helpful error messages
- `weevil new --list-templates` command
- Template files embedded in binary at compile time
Technical details:
- Templates stored in templates/basic/ and templates/testing/
- Files ending in .template have variables replaced
- Uses include_dir! macro to embed templates in binary
- Returns file count for user feedback

Cross-platform tool for generating clean, testable FTC robot projects
without editing the SDK installation.
Features:
- Standalone project generation with proper separation from SDK
- Per-project SDK configuration via .weevil.toml
- Local unit testing support (no robot required)
- Cross-platform build/deploy scripts (Linux/macOS/Windows)
- Project upgrade system preserving user code
- Configuration management commands
- Comprehensive test suite (11 passing tests)
- Zero-warning builds
Architecture:
- Pure Rust implementation with embedded Gradle wrapper
- Projects use deployToSDK task to copy code to FTC SDK TeamCode
- Git-ready projects with automatic initialization
- USB and WiFi deployment with auto-detection
Commands:
- weevil new <name> - Create new project
- weevil upgrade <path> - Update project infrastructure
- weevil config <path> - View/modify project configuration
- weevil sdk status/install/update - Manage SDKs
Addresses the core problem: FTC's SDK structure forces students to
edit framework internals instead of separating concerns like industry
standard practices. Weevil enables proper software engineering workflows
for robotics education.
