Yep! I've added another number to handle all the texts I'm sending out. There's a hard limit on the number of text messages I can send in a span of time (1/second), so adding another number helps me get them all out faster.

Currently I use a lazy method of dispatching texts to phone numbers, where it's just random. To make it where one user gets a single number for the entire event/season will require a little more work.

Zach, do you know when this will be available for the 2015 season? I can't wait to use it next year!

Megaphone will be back for the 2015 season, but I can't confirm a timeline or a feature set right now

Will we need to set it up again or will settings move over from last year?

Know any iOS devs?

If you have a server to push to (which you can then use to blast out your own updates) you can use TBA Webhooks as an alternative.

What is it specifically that you're looking for that FRC Spyder doesn't offer?

Sorry all. Things just didn't come together this year.

FRC Spyder and The Blue Alliance are both excellent alternatives for the notification aspect of Megaphone (if you have a smartphone).

All times are GMT -5. The time now is 09:53.
