FRC.Tools is the community directory of FRC tools, calculators and resources, with FTC and FLL alongside.
Newer and rising tools, not the usual giants
Great starting points for new teams
Directly from FIRST HQ
FRC.Tools is a community directory for FIRST robotics teams. Search over a thousand tools, calculators and apps for FRC, FTC and FLL, then bookmark the ones you use every season. It also maps off-season events with their cost and open team slots, lists practice fields you can book, archives team robot code and CAD by team and year, gathers event photo albums, and tracks grants your team can apply for with the deadlines checked. Everything is free, and any team can submit a tool, an event, a field or a grant.
The point is to make your season easier. Instead of digging through old Chief Delphi threads and shared spreadsheets every January, you find the tool, event, field or grant your team needs in one search, see what other teams actually use, and keep it a tap away for next season. A rookie team gets a running start, and a veteran team stops re-finding the same links year after year. New tools are added as teams build and share them, so the directory grows with the community rather than going stale between seasons.
dyn4j is a Java-based collision detection and physics engine library that provides features like continuous collision detection, convex decomposition, and convex hull algorithms. It is used by robotics simulation tools (such as Maple Sim) and is broadly applicable to teams developing physics-based s
An open-source book and educational resource on control systems engineering principles applied to FRC robotics, written in TeX and hosted on GitHub for community access.
mrcal is an open-source camera calibration library with comprehensive documentation for calibrating cameras (fisheye, wide-angle, pinhole). Used by robotics teams for vision system calibration in computer vision pipelines.
Browser-based real-time dashboard for FTC robots. Displays live telemetry, graphs, and camera feeds during development. Allows changing configuration variables without redeploying code.
Alternative FTC autonomous path follower designed for reactive, on-the-fly path correction. Uses a centripetal force correction approach for smooth, consistent holonomic robot movement.
Autodesk Synthesis is a robotics simulator that integrates with Fusion 360 CAD designs, allowing FRC teams to test and simulate robot designs before building physical prototypes.
A quickstart template repository for FTC robot programming using the CoreControl library, providing a structured framework and example code to get teams up and running with FTC robot control.
A Chinese-language wiki and knowledge base for FRC (First Robotics Competition), providing educational resources and documentation for FRC participants. Built with MkDocs Material and hosted at wiki.firstrobotics.com.cn.

SPOT is a modular scouting application for FRC designed by Huskie Robotics to streamline team scouting across multiple seasons with consistent, reusable tools.
The official FRC robot programming library for Java and C++. Provides hardware abstraction (motors, sensors, cameras), control algorithms, simulation, and the VS Code development environment.
The official Gradle plugin for FRC that enables teams to build, deploy, and manage robot code projects. Essential build tool infrastructure used by FRC teams using Java/Kotlin.
WPILib Suite repository for alpha and beta testing of Systemcore and Motioncore device firmware and software. Provides testing harnesses and examples for teams integrating these motor control devices into FRC robots.
The official FIRST Driver Station desktop application for FRC teams to communicate with and control their robot during matches and practice. Developed by the WPILib team.
Shuffleboard is an official FRC dashboard application developed by WPILib that displays real-time robot data, telemetry, and controls during matches and practice. It is the modern replacement for SmartDashboard and is used by FRC teams for driver station monitoring and debugging.
PathWeaver is an official WPILib desktop application for designing and generating smooth motion paths for FRC robot autonomous routines. It provides a visual trajectory editor and exports path data for use in robot code.
A web application and REST API that retrieves official team colors for FRC team logos. Useful for scouting apps, dashboards, and tools that need to display team-branded content.
roboStage is a web platform for FLL teams to practice, score matches, analyze performance, and organize micro-events. It provides analytics and competition management tools built with Next.js, React, and TypeScript.
An open-source kit providing reusable templates and tools (signup site, flyer, outreach emails) to help parents and volunteers start and recruit for new FIRST LEGO League teams. Designed for easy deployment with no coding required.
A TypeScript library implementing WPILib's NT4.1 (NetworkTables) specification, enabling Node.js and browser-based applications to communicate with FRC robots and dashboards via the NetworkTables protocol.
