- I want to know how to improve.

is there any way to work on code without being near the robot?
We use Beta 8397's incredible https://github.com/Beta8397/virtual_robot as well. We actually program our robot into it so we can use our code as is. That is not exactly for the faint of heart, but it is an option. I suggest using one of the built-in robot configurations and modifying it to learn how.

Any hardware that's not $700 that can run FTC code?
Agree. We have used virtual robot for programming practice and training new programmers.

New to Coding
Agree with this. Also, you might want to check out virtual robot, which has built-in support for the "Learn Java for FTC" book and will allow you and your team to start programming without needing access to an actual robot. We have used both of these with some success.

Does Amazon Corretto 8 JDK include JavaFX?
I maintain this JavaFX project. It runs fine using Amazon Corretto 8 JDK on every Windows system I've tried it on. A user with a MacBook recently posted an issue (package javafx.application does not exist), which he or she fixed by switching to the Bell Liberica 1.8 dev kit.

Simulator that works with roadrunner?
Another +1 for Beta's excellent simulator at: https://github.com/Beta8397/virtual_robot

A question
We have used Learn Java for FTC with some success. In conjunction with this, we also use a virtual robot simulator which has support for the "programming board" hardware construct in the book. The simulator allows you to learn programming without having to buy an actual robot. Both of these are free.

Virtual Robot Simulator
I am using the virtual robot simulator(https://github.com/Beta8397/virtual_robot) and can't get it to run my op modes. When I click init it does nothing. The demo scripts work but mine doesn't and I'm not sure why. Can someone please explain why this might be happening?

Can you broadcast a driver hub's screen to access it on a computer?
Yes, APK from Github, or just connect your phone to the REV Hardware Client.

Field Centric Drive Help
I think I just stumbled upon where the team got the IMU initialization from. Take a look at the sample code in https://github.com/FIRST-Tech-Challenge/FtcRobotController/blob/master/FtcRobotController/src/main/java/org/firstinspires/ftc/robotcontroller/external/samples/SensorBNO055IMU.java

Faster Way to Scan with the Rev 2M Distance Sensor?
You can read my testing notes here https://github.com/FIRST-Tech-Challenge/FtcRobotController/issues/317 but there is a way to make it slightly faster

Hello i've recently had a question about improving my TeleOP (i'm on the mechanic departament and also a driver in my team) i've noticed that during TeleOp if the other driver presses something on their controller it messes up my movement. Can anyone give me some aditional help???
Here's a sample program that uses deadlines

Writing an I2C Driver for MaxBotix Ultrasonic
https://github.com/FIRST-Tech-Challenge/FtcRobotController/wiki/Writing-an-I2C-Driver This is the core tutorial on i2c devices, although its a little out of date so YMMV. Some things like the constructor may need to be tweaked (I believe there is now a second parameter in the super?). However the core of it is still accurate.
