+# {{PROJECT_NAME}}
+
+FTC Robot project created with Weevil {{WEEVIL_VERSION}} on {{CREATION_DATE}}.
+
+## Getting Started
+
+This is a minimal FTC robot project. Add your robot code in:
+- `src/main/java/robot/opmodes/` - OpModes for TeleOp and Autonomous
+- `src/main/java/robot/subsystems/` - Robot subsystems
+- `src/main/java/robot/hardware/` - Hardware abstractions
+
+## Building
+
+```bash
+# Setup environment (first time only)
+weevil setup
+
+# Build APK
+weevil build
+
+# Deploy to robot
+weevil deploy
+```
+
+## Project Structure
+
+```
+{{PROJECT_NAME}}/
+├── src/
+│   ├── main/java/robot/
+│   │   ├── hardware/      # Hardware interfaces
+│   │   ├── subsystems/    # Robot subsystems  
+│   │   └── opmodes/       # TeleOp and Autonomous
+│   └── test/java/robot/   # Unit tests
+├── build.gradle           # Build configuration
+└── README.md             # This file
+```
+
+## Next Steps
+
+1. Add your robot hardware in `src/main/java/robot/hardware/`
+2. Create subsystems in `src/main/java/robot/subsystems/`
+3. Write OpModes in `src/main/java/robot/opmodes/`
+4. Test and deploy!
