FIRST Chat Scouting

[Q. Sheets]

Hey Everybody,

My scouting system is fully ready for this year!! But, yet again, I need teams to contribute their knowledge of their robots.

Help your team and other teams scout, by entering information on your robot here (http://firstchat.ath.cx:81/resources/frc/scouting/index.php?page=robot).

Please reply with any questions, comments, concerns, or suggestions below.

Thanks,
Quentin Sheets

Really cool, just posted some stuff on there. Nice Job.

[Akash Rastogi]

Great stuff here. Scouting will be a lot more fun this year it looks like. Well done.

[Pat Arnold]

This will be extremely useful. The Regional & team lists are great. I had a problem when I tried to submit a team number into the robot inventory; the screen flashed & no results were given. I'll try again later. Thanks for all the work that went into making the site.

There is currently a small html coding error occurring with the redirect when the robot info. hasn't been submitted into the database.

I cannot fix it from my current location. But it will be fixed promptly at 4:00 PM EST.

UPDATE: Apparently this is an isolated incident only affecting Internet Explorer... FIXED

[Killraine]

Bump! everyone needs to do this

[Q. Sheets]

Current Stats:

Robots: 34
...with pictures: 15

Please keep submitting your robots into the database.

Thanks,

The site looks great!

One suggestion, and I'm not sure how hard this would be to do having no experience with websites, but something under the full team list page: http://firstchat.ath.cx:81/resources/frc/index.php?page=teams
where it indicates whether a team had entered information about their bot, maybe a star, or bold or something.

Overall I really like the idea. This should really streamline scouting. Could be the next TBA!

[cbale2000]

Nice looking layout, I added a few things for our team. :)

No support for Michigan events though (On the "scouting" page anyways)? :confused:

[EricLeifermann]

Added some info, no picture yet as we didn't take one before bagging the robot, also we are changing somethings to become a dumper...

[wo-bot 141]

I added the info I know about. i wont post a picture tell after the first event. you will have to wait and see.

[hipsterjr]

I like this, kinda like TheBlueAlliance of scouting.
I added a pic but I don't think it is showing up. Can someone look up 342 and see if it loaded?

[Ice Berg]

I checked and I don't think it uploaded

[hipsterjr]

I checked and I don't think it uploaded

I got it now, thanks. I think there is a problem with the url option, so I just uploaded a pic from my hard-drive.

[IBdrummer]

This will be a great tool for all teams to use as a reference for scouting.
It'll also hopefully help teams without scouts and rookie teams have a pool of information that would usually be out of their hands.
Great Job!

Being from Michigan myself, that's the first thing I made sure was there... :)

You may have missed the second selection box on the scouting page that is only Michigan events. :yikes:

[Vikesrock]

I agree that it would be useful to have an indicator on the Robot Inventory page for each event showing which robots have info about them entered and which do not.

Otherwise, the site looks pretty useful!

[Q. Sheets]

For those of you who want an indicator, each event now has one. Links to Robot Inventory pages without information submitted to them are now highlighted in red as can be seen from this example: http://firstchat.ath.cx:81/resources/frc/scouting/index.php?event=GG&page=robot

[Tottanka]

You should add an option of propulsion and traction control to the movement part

turreted shooting might also be nice

Very nice!

[RyanCesiel]

Nice work Quentin.

[Golto]

Thanks a lot for this! This wikll be EXTREMELY useful! I've linked to it from the Free Hug Alliance

[Caduceus]

wow, nice idea, It'll help making scouting easier, somebody shouldve thought of this sooner

[Akash Rastogi]

This + TBA = awesome information. Thank you for making the improvements in such a timely manner.

[keehun]

Team 2502 would be able to host this website at a better URL (scout.teamrobot.com) and improve in this awesome website with design/layout & cleaner URLs, of course, if you want to.

nice database you have there, i wish there was more of a way to expose it to every team

[hipsterjr]

It would be amazing if this site could be partnered with TBA, so could pull this info and TBA video on the same page.

[Q. Sheets]

Hey,

I really like your scouting tool of the robot inventory, but I think it would be cool if you could add a place so that people could put in links of their robot's videos. Especially as we wait for competitions to start up this could be a great tool for teams.

Embedded video would be pretty slick, but is it still possible if not every video was from YouTube? I've seen people use Vimeo, myspace, and google video so far this year.

Great job on making this.

Vimeo, YouTube, Google and MySpace videos are now all enabled to be put on Robot Inventory pages

[Q. Sheets]

Current Stats:

Robots: 89
...with pictures: 30

Keep submitting your robots into the database. Every robot helps.

Thanks,

Then what is this (http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/showthread.php?threadid=75154):yikes:

[engunneer]

very nice.

other options that might be nice to list:
return cells to Payload Specialist
top loading (ability checkbox)
cell capacity (dropdown)


I added 1318. I'll try adding some videos i found (i automated searching youtube and found some nice ones.)

[TotalChaos]

Woo! My video collection came in handy! :D

Can anybody add videos to the appropriate team? If so I can go through em tomorrow and make sure all the videos I have are on there. (Unless you got em all already)

You only enter the ID in the box not the whole URL. I fixed the link and it should show properly now.

sweet:D

[Q. Sheets]

UPDATE:

Those events with webcasts, now have their webcasts along with a link to the hosting site posted. For example: the Midwest Regional (http://firstchat.ath.cx:81/resources/frc/scouting/index.php?event=IL&page=webcast)

Also, the match lists for tomorrow should automatically update, but if they don't there is still a link to add them manually.

[engunneer]

can you rig up something to update the scores based on the #frcfms or FRC-Spy feeds?

I'm working on something, but you might be much faster.

[Q. Sheets]

Sure thing...

If you have one done before I post saying it's done, just tell me. I have a somewhat busy rest of the day.

[Q. Sheets]

Two auto-update scripts are written... one using PHP and the other, Python, so the matches should go through smoothly.

Current Stats:

Robots: 169

I think some sort of spam bot took over our scouting page. I tried changing it but later I looked and it was taken over again.

Thank you for noticing this... as of right now it is fixed and all team pages are locked from updates until either I finish the register/login scripts and/or I add a captcha script to the website.

If any team has information that needs updating, just PM me.

[Q. Sheets]

JUST ADDED:

Calculated OPR and CCWM for each team in each event*... :cool:



* Not all are to be assumed correct as not all regional data has been entered on the site

[robodude03]

Somebody already entered information for team 176, but it's all wrong, and I don't seem to be able to edit it.

The correct info

Drive Type: 4 wheel, 2 CIM tank drive
Chassis: Wide
Manipulator: Dumper w/ floor pick-up
Autonomous: drive straight, then spin.

I really like the database. Thanks and nice job!

There is an edit button on the page just below the data and the picture.

I noticed that it said that we went 6-1 in the qualifications in NY when we went 7-0 because the penalty didnt count do to slight error with the rules that was made.(In reality we only got one penalty instead of 2)
I just entered our teams info.

Fixed, sorry that was an error on the reporting side...

[Q. Sheets]

The first three off-season events are listed and ready to be scouted if anyone wants to report the matches to the site...
