## Project Overview

Welcome to the official code repository for **Team 65266 - Lego Dynamics**! This repository contains all the Pybricks code powering our robot through the UNEARTHED season missions. Our modular approach allows for flexible mission execution and quick color-sensor-based run selection.

## Robot Hardware

### Meet Optimus Prime III

| Component | Specification |
|-----------|--------------|
| **Robot Name** | Optimus Prime III |
| **Firmware** | Pybricks |
| **Attachment Motors** | 2x Large Motors (Ports C & D) |
| **Drive Motors** | 2x Small Motors (Ports A & B) |
| **Sensors** | Up-facing Color Sensor (Quick Start) |
| **Attachments** | Multiple mission-specific tools |

### Motor Configuration
- **Port A**: Left Drive Motor (Small)
- **Port B**: Right Drive Motor (Small)
- **Port C**: Left Attachment Motor (Large)
- **Port D**: Right Attachment Motor (Large)

## Code Structure

Our codebase is organized for maximum efficiency and modularity:

```
Repository
 ┣ run_1.py          # Individual mission runs
 ┣ run_2.py          
 ┣ run_3.py
 ┣ ...
 ┗ masterFile.py         # 🎯 Combined master file with color-start logic - this changes periodically as we release new versions. Check this README if you are unsure what code should be loaded on the robot.
```

### Workflow
1. **Individual Run Files** → Contain specific mission sequences
2. **Script Combination** → Merges runs into master file
3. **Color Sensor Logic** → Adds intelligent run selection based on color detection

## How to Use

### Installation & Deployment - from the server - everyday

1. Download the file codes_for_scrimmage/hazmat/mainhazmatUPD.py
 - You can do this through the repo, by using cURL, or by using git.
 - Repo - Go to [codes_for_scrimmage/hazmat/mainhazmatUPD.py](codes_for_scrimmage/hazmat/mainhazmatUPD.py) and click the "Download" button.
 - cURL or another HTTP data transferrer - 
 ```curl -o mainhazmatUPD.py https://codes.fll-65266.org/FLL_65266_LEGO_DYNAMICS/solutions_season_unearthed/raw/branch/main/codes_for_scrimmage/hazmat/mainhazmatUPD.py```
 - git CLI - 
 ```git clone -b dev https://codes.fll-65266.org/FLL_65266_LEGO_DYNAMICS/solutions_season_unearthed.git && cd solutions_season_unearthed/codes_for_scrimmage/hazmat``` - Then use mainhazmatUPD.py.

2. Open https://code.pybricks.com/ and select the "Import a file" button on the top of the left bar. Import the .py file. Pair your robot via Bluetooth in Pybricks by selecting the Bluetooth button.

 - Import button looks like this:

 - Bluetooth button looks like this:
 ![alt text](https://codes.fll-65266.org/FLL_65266_LEGO_DYNAMICS/solutions_season_unearthed/raw/branch/do-not-merge/bluetooth.png)

3. **Upload to Robot** - Click "Download and Run" or send the program to the robot
 - Run button looks like this: ![alt text](https://codes.fll-65266.org/FLL_65266_LEGO_DYNAMICS/solutions_season_unearthed/raw/branch/do-not-merge/run.png)
   

4. **Start Your Run**
   - If starting without Pybricks, press the center circular button on the SPIKE Prime Hub to start the program.
   - Hold a colored LEGO brick up to the color sensor.
   - Different colors trigger different mission runs - color mapping is below.

### Color Start System
| Color | Mission |
|-------|-----------|
| Green  🟩 | Run 1 |
| Purple 🟪 | Run 2 |
| Red    🟥| Run 3 |
| Yellow 🟨| Run 4 |
| Blue   🟦| Run 5 |
| Orange 🟧| Run 6 |
