Tech Tip of the Week 

This week’s Tech Tip of the Week comes to us from Chris Johannesen, 2023 FIRST^® Tech Challenge Volunteer of the Year and author of many ftc-docs tutorials. Have you heard of the HuskyLens and want to learn how to properly connect one to a Control Hub, learn how to use it to detect Team Props, and use the HuskyLens samples included with SDK 9.0.0 and newer?

Chris has this and more in his HuskyLens Tutorial on ftc-docs, check it out! And remember, you can see this and all previous Tech Tips on the Tech Tip page on ftc-docs.
