drawer / Software
A trajectory-optimization tool that generates time-optimal autonomous paths, often paired with WPILib.
where you actually meet Choreo
Choreo solves for the fastest path your drivetrain can physically drive given its real mass and motor limits, rather than the smoothest one you could draw by hand. Teams reach for it when auto is the difference between winning and losing and a hand-tuned path is leaving tenths on the table — and it demands the same honest odometry work PathPlanner does.
Free and structured, and none of them need an account to read.
