This is a copy of the changelog from the releases page on the github

Hello! I’m sorry, development has been slow on Protobot Rebuilt. My junior year was extremely busy. I’ve done lots of planning for what I want to see in the future of this project, and I’m talking with people in VEX CAD to hear what they want from this project

I have some big plans for the future to make Protobot a truly viable tool for teams to quickly prototype bots, but these features will take time as I have a job, on 2 robotics teams (FRC and V5RC), and still have school. I promise I look at everything and I don’t mean to not respond to messages but I try my best. Feel free to send a follow up message if I don’t respond I don’t mind at all.

I’d also love to begin using Protobot as a tool within the classroom for engineering classes that use VEX Robotics. I will be teaching a class next year and will be integrating protobot into it project. Anything class-related to Protobot, I will be releasing publicly, even hopefully creating a project outline for teachers to use to actually integrate it into the classroom. If you’re a coach or teacher (or know someone who would be interested) please contact me at [email protected] I’d love to help out

Protobot Rebuilt takes a lot of time and effort and thank you to every single person who has helped out on the project. It means a lot to me.

Good luck in Push Back
