Snippetz404

A searchable library of real-world WPILib code snippets for FRC roboRIO 2.0

What is Snippetz404?

Snippetz404 is a searchable library of real-world WPILib code snippets for FRC roboRIO 2.0. Every snippet is verified against official documentation—no hallucinated APIs, no guessing.

Why it exists

FRC teams often spend hours searching through documentation trying to find "how do I do X?" snippets. Snippetz404 saves time by providing:

Search fast

Fuzzy search across all snippets

Filter smart

By language, category, hardware, topic

Copy ready

One-click copy for every code block

Trust sources

Links back to official documentation

How snippets are created

1

Extracted or derived from official WPILib documentation

2

Annotated with metadata (languages, category, tags, hardware)

3

Tested for accuracy and completeness

4

Provided in Java, C++, and Python where available

Architecture

Built with modern, efficient tech:

  • Next.js (App Router)
  • TypeScript
  • Tailwind CSS
  • Fuse.js (fuzzy search)
  • MDX + YAML frontmatter
  • Static generation

All snippets are stored as static MDX files with YAML frontmatter. The site is fully static and can be deployed anywhere—no database required.
