MultiRoombaRover/plans/discord_bot_outline.md

general idea

• discord bot run by the server
• use discord.js
• don't use discord's slash commands
  • listen for commands the old fashioned way
  • only admins with IDs set in the server config can use commands
• use nice looking embeds with colors for everything but messages

features

admin server management commands

• admins can lock and unlock rovers from discord
• admins can change the server access control mode

announcements

• the bot has an announcements channel assigned in the server config. It will also have an announcement role ID to optionally ping. it will announce:
  • when a rover is locked / unlocked (no ping)
  • when the server access mode is changed (ping)
• the bot will have an admin ping role and alert channel. in here will be:
  • rover activity (no pings)
    • docking
    • charging
    • stopping charging
    • undocking
  • rover alerts (ping)
    • rover comes online
    • rover goes offline
    • rover is at warn battery
    • rover is at urgent battery

chat bridge
