Understanding our sourcing and upstream projects

Our Mission

Snippetz404 is not affiliated with or endorsed by FIRST, WPILib, or any official FRC project.

We are an independent, community-created index of code snippets, examples, and patterns extracted from official WPILib documentation and examples. Our goal is to make it easier for FRC teams to find, understand, and reuse common patterns.

If you believe any content here violates an upstream license or intellectual property right, please report it.

Upstream Sources

WPILib

The FIRST Robotics Competition library for Java, C++, and Python. Most patterns, APIs, and examples in our library are derived from official WPILib documentation and example repositories.

Game Tools and Components (GTC) Docs

Community-contributed examples and documentation for FRC software, maintained by volunteers. If you find snippets sourced from GTC, they are credited and their license terms are respected.

How We Source Snippets

Our Sourcing Policy

  1. 1. Official Documentation

    We extract examples and patterns from official WPILib docs and examples.

  2. 2. Attribution Required

    Every snippet includes explicit source references (repo, file path, section).

  3. 3. License Compliance

    We respect upstream licenses. See /licenses for details.

  4. 4. Verification Status

    Each snippet is marked as "Verified", "Draft", or "Unsourced". We exclude unsourced snippets from default search.

Verification Levels

✅ Verified

Source references exist and have been checked. Code is accurate and production-ready.

⚠️ Draft

Snippet is incomplete, needs review, or has partial sourcing. Not recommended for production.

❌ Unsourced

No verified source available. Use with extreme caution and verify independently.

License Compliance

All snippets in our library include attribution metadata specifying:

  • →Upstream Project: Where the code/pattern comes from (e.g., WPILib)
  • →License Type: The license(s) that apply (e.g., BSD-3-Clause)
  • →License File: Path to the upstream license text (if available locally)
  • →Required Notice: Any mandatory attribution text from the license

Using Our Snippets: If you use code from our library, you inherit the license terms of the upstream project. Be sure to include proper attribution in your own work.
