Tech Tip: Utility OpModes Unleashed!
With the release of version 11.2, the FTC SDK now supports a new classification of OpMode known as a "Utility OpMode." This is a way to store helpful OpModes in their own place away from AUTO and TELEOP OpModes. There are TWO fabulous Utility OpModes built into the FTC SDK that you can use RIGHT NOW – a Test Hardware utility and a Test Gamepad utility. The full "Testing your Robot with Utility OpModes" tech tip can be found on ftc-docs.
