Getting started
Custom Pather draws bezier autonomous paths on the competition field and exports them as coordinate arrays you can paste into your code.
Placing points
- Click anywhere on the field to drop a waypoint.
- Hold Shift while clicking to snap the new segment's handles to a straight line at 45° increments from the last point.
- Hold Ctrl and click an existing waypoint to delete it.
- Double-click a waypoint or a segment to straighten that segment's curve.
Editing curves
Each waypoint has two curve handles (cyan and orange). Drag them to shape the bezier curve between points. Toggle handle visibility with the Handles button.
Fine-tuning
- Last Pt Precision — type exact X/Y inches for the most recently placed point.
- Resolution slider — controls point spacing along the path. Click a segment first to set its resolution individually, otherwise it applies globally.
- Robot dimensions — set width/length in inches to preview the robot's footprint as it travels the path.
Exporting and importing
Click Copy Path to copy the generated coordinate list. Paste previously exported path code into the text box and click Load to restore it, including field mode, colors, and per-segment resolution.
Other controls
