Support for adapter classes about robotbuilder

[bradamiller]

With 5.0.8 RobotBuilder generates code that doesn't work because the TalonSRX class doesn't implement SpeedController. So in my case I have a robot with 4 motor drive and RobotBuilder creates a DifferentialDrive with two SpeedController groups (left and right side). The SpeedControllerGroup needs SpeedControllers as the arguments, same as DifferentialDrive if I only had 2 motors. Is there a way of just getting TalonSRX and VictorSPX to directly implement SpeedController?

Is there a disadvantage to always calling getWPILIB_SpeedController() in Robot Builder generated code?

[bradamiller]

Probably not, it just seems cleaner and less confusing for teams that aren't privy to this discussion. I was curious why it didn't just implement the class instead of returning the proxy class. But I just tried the suggested RobotBuilder change and it seems to work except for a few typos in the posted solution.

Is this OBE with the latest changes in Phoenix?

Since Phoenix now has compatible classes WPI_TalonSRX/WPI_VictorSPX, this is no longer an issue.
