## About

BumbleBoard is designed to give FRC teams a responsive interface for robot control and data visualization. With this dashboard, team members can easily observe real-time data, and control various robot functions from a single location. BumbleBoard is developed to be highly customizable, allowing teams to adapt the dashboard to their specific robot's needs.

## Installing

To get BumbleBoard running, follow these steps to install and run BumbleBoard.

### 1. Download the latest release

Go to the [BumbleBoard GitHub releases](https://github.com/BumbleB3339/BumbleBoard/releases/latest) page and download the latest setup file (EXE) for Windows.

### 2. Run the installer

Open the downloaded setup file and follow the on-screen instructions to install BumbleBoard on your system.

### 3. Launch BumbleBoard

## Connecting to your robot

To connect BumbleBoard to your robot, follow these steps:
