Obviously, this isn't going to work offline. Probably better to do this download with the hatchling wheel build?

... lol, I just saw my comment below. I guess I could go either way.

Ha. Yea, target was for this to get something meaningful in robot.py during init - if there's internet we can yoink from the minimal example. If there isn't, fallback is to be same as today (presumably the first-time build will fail anyway unless they get some internet).
Perhaps a more useful fallback is to put the URL they go to for finding some initial robot code?
And/or, address the initial docs question a different way (like how it said, just put a hello world into the docs).
Then again, if we were to hardcode a hello world into the docs for python, why not just hardcode it here?
If I had to pick I think I'd want to keep as is (presuming most folks will have internet when they run robotpy init) and make the fallback just indicate the URL to get code from?

That sounds good to me.
The only challenge will be to remember to update the branch name if we have a different set of examples for 2027.
