connect is a command for Claude Code from ncssm-robotics/ftc-claude. It costs 0 tokens per session (951 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command for connecting a computer to an FTC robot, a robot used in the FIRST Tech Challenge, over Wi‑Fi or a USB cable.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before uploading code to connect to the robot’s Control Hub. It supports Wi‑Fi, USB, custom IP addresses, and custom ADB ports.
Why use it?
It removes the need to enter the robot connection details manually. It also lets you choose a custom robot IP address or connection port when the defaults do not work.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

connect scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 7d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Connect Command

Establishes a connection to your FTC robot.

Usage

/connect              # Connect via WiFi (default)
/connect --usb        # Connect via USB cable
/connect --ip 10.0.0.1   # Connect to custom IP

Arguments

Argument Description
--wifi Connect via WiFi (default)
--usb Connect via USB cable
--ip <address> Custom robot IP (default: 192.168.43.1)
--port <port> Custom ADB port (default: 5555)

WiFi Connection (Default)

When connecting via WiFi:

  1. Check network:

    • Verify computer is on robot's WiFi network
    • Robot network is usually TEAMNUMBER-RC
  2. Connect ADB:

    adb connect 192.168.43.1:5555
    
  3. Verify:

    adb devices
    

Expected Output

Connecting to robot via WiFi...

  Connecting to 192.168.43.1:5555...
  ✓ Connected!

  Device: Control Hub
  Serial: 1234567890ABCDEF

  Run /deploy to upload your code

USB Connection

When connecting via USB:

  1. Check USB:

    adb devices
    
  2. If device found, enable wireless:

    adb tcpip 5555
    
  3. Get device IP and connect:

    adb shell ip route | grep wlan0
    adb connect <ip>:5555
    

Expected Output

Connecting to robot via USB...

  ✓ USB device found
  ✓ Enabled TCP/IP mode
  ✓ Connected wirelessly

  You can now unplug the USB cable.
  Robot IP: 192.168.43.1

  Run /deploy to upload your code

Error Handling

No Robot Found

Connecting to robot via WiFi...

  ✗ Cannot reach 192.168.43.1

  Troubleshooting:
  1. Is the robot powered on?
  2. Are you on the robot's WiFi network?
     - Look for a network named "TEAMNUMBER-RC"
     - Your current network: "Home-WiFi" ← wrong network!
  3. Is the robot's WiFi enabled?
     - Check Driver Station settings

  Try: /connect --usb (use a USB cable instead)

USB Device Not Found

Connecting to robot via USB...

  ✗ No USB device found

  Troubleshooting:
  1. Connect a USB cable from your computer to the Control Hub
  2. Use the USB-C port on the Control Hub (not the phone port)
  3. Try a different cable (some cables are charge-only)
  4. On Windows: Install USB drivers (see /doctor)

  After connecting, run /connect --usb again

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
