+# Notes from Kevin Frei
+
+Hi, the original author of this libary (Alex Stedman) graduated and went off to college. So now I'm
+maintaining it.
+
+I'm an FTC mentor, not an FRC mentor. My goals are to enable capable programmers (often times coming
+from Python) to be able to create a functional, _reliable_ robot quickly and easily. Java, and
+particularly some Java conventions however, are not always the most conducive language to these
+goals. I've made a few minor edits/improvements in the 1.3.0 release, but I'm also prototyping a new
+2.0 release during the 2023/2024 season (our students are still using 1.3.0). The point of me
+working on the prototype during build/competition season is primarily because I'm watching what
+students struggle with, what I'm stuck explaining over & over, etc... and am trying to adjust
+the library to be more approachable and easier to interact with.
+
+## Small Ideas
+
+Initially, I found the hardware wrapper types to be mostly just a waste of effort. Now, however, I'm
+considering building out MUCH more capability in them. The 2 primary things I'd like to add are:
+
+1. Resilience to disconnected hardware
+2. Easy, code-free logging opt-in/opt-out
+
+For item 1, we have a typical setup where we have flags in the "robot" object where we can
+'disconnect' a subsystem, thus allowing the bot to continue to function even when specific hardware
+isn't connected. This could be done without too much effort, and could potentially also be a nice
+stepping stone to some level of hardware simulation.
+
+For item 2, for most of the hardware types, it's often useful to log data from those types (current
+power/velocity, current tick values, etc...) but doing so is somewhat clunky. It would be nice if
+you could set a flag in the dashboard, or perhaps just add a top-level to the constructor or a
+subsystem that would enable/disable logging with little-to-no code changes.
+
+## Big Ideas
+
+Full simulation of a robot would be _tremendously_ helpful. Initially just being able to simulate
+all the hardware would be useful. Being able to configure motors, servos, and sensors in a 3
+dimensional model, with connections to parts would be MUCH more work (but also MUCH cooler)
