Software
WPILib is the standard software library and toolsuite provided for teams to write, test, and debug code for their FIRST® Robotics Competition and FIRST® Tech Challenge robots.
The libraries have links to be able to be called from Java, C++, and Python.
WPI - Worchester Polytechnic Institute. WPILib was originally created by Brad Miller and some Worchestor Polytechnic Institute students back in the early 2000s (I think 2008?). source
