Elastic 2026.0.0 Beta 1
I am excited to begin the 2026 beta testing for Elastic. For those unfamiliar, Elastic is a Flutter-based driver dashboard designed for use behind the glass at competitions. Elastic was released in the Fall of 2023 and has grown to be the most widely used driver dashboard in FRC.
Last year was the first year that Elastic was distributed with the rest of WPILib, making it more accessible to teams. In addition, usage reporting was collected for dashboards, and Elastic was used by 1235 different teams in matches.
The Next Dimension
This year takes Elastic into the next dimension, with more platform support, data viewing capabilities, and support for the SystemCore.
There are 2 major additions I am excited to share.
Web Support
Flutter is well-known for its multi-platform support, which has enabled Elastic to be supported on all three widely used desktop platforms. Lately, lots of software in FRC (and FTC with the SystemCore) have been moving towards web browser compatibility, making it easier for teams to access development tools.
After over a year of testing and development, Elastic can now run inside a web browser, with almost all features still supported! Special thanks to @Gold856 for his tremendous help in setting this up, and @TheTripleV for getting an initial proof of concept working back in September of last year.
If you would like to try out the web version of Elastic, it is hosted online here.
SystemCore Integration
Those involved with the SystemCore alpha testing are likely familiar with this already, but for those who aren’t, Elastic will be installed on the SystemCore via an IPK package. This will allow the dashboard to be installed on the robot by dragging and dropping an install file, and be accessible by anyone who connects to it. Combined with remote layout downloading, you can start monitoring your robot in seconds!
Several other changes are being made for SystemCore support, such as different modes for connecting to the robot, and the ability to view data from its built-in NetworkTables server.
For more details, see the SystemCore testing repository.
Future Platform Support
Elastic was developed with desktop support in mind, and will continue to be developed with priority support for desktop environments. The web version of Elastic is meant to serve more as a “lite” version, with some more advanced features left out for compatibility reasons. For this reason, the desktop version of the app will remain as the recommended platform.
Structs
Raise your hand if you’ve published a struct variable (a pose, robot speeds, etc), and had to publish additional data so you could display it.
Well look no further, you can now display individual struct fields in Elastic!
In the same way you can drag out a topic and display it, you can now do the same for individual fields in structs, with the following limitations:
- You can only view, not edit
- Arrays are not supported for viewing
Other Minor Improvements
Improved WPILib Icon
As suggested by users last year, the icon for the WPILib installation of Elastic has been improved
Command Widget Button Spacing
An option was added to have the button in a command widget fill all available space.
