Re: Scouting the Scouting Apps
 

Just found this thread, so I'll post my submission as well.
FRC Scouting
https://play.google.com/store/apps/d...scouting&hl=en

Open source on github:
https://github.com/username115/FRCScouting


Scout App Platform (Android/iOS, etc): Android (Working on a web applet as well, hopefully by next year)

Server Required?: no, but recommended

Server Platform (Android/iOS/Windows, etc): LAMP webserver

Connectivity Method: Internet connection (plans to add Bluetooth support). Can sync data to server later as well. If not using a server, data can be exported to CSV, and combined manually.

Built In Scouting Criteria: Yes. But there is a comments field.

Flexible System to Allow Team Defined Scouting Attributes: Each team can define a list of "Common Notes" to make comments entry easier.

Picture Capable?: Planned feature for pit scouting

Match Score Capable?: Depends on the game. Data is more capability-driven than score-driven.

Interfaces to Any FRC Databases for Data (TheBlueAlliance, etc): FIRST Community API

Up to date and Method for Updating: Published on Google Play store, up-to-date. Server updating must be done manually via ftp (or similar). Link to server source is provided on github and in google play store description.

Provides match and pit scouting

Re: Scouting the Scouting Apps
 

GearScout 2015

Scout App Platform (Android/iOS, etc): Android, no outside config necessary
Server Required?: A laptop for the spreadsheet
Server Platform (Android/iOS/Windows, etc): anything with MS office
Connectivity Method: USB
Built In Scouting Criteria: everything necessary for effective 2015 scouting, including optional auto-submitted notes
Flexible System to Allow Team Defined Scouting Attributes: Yes
Picture Capable?: yes, just change the directory in the formula
Match Score Capable?: no
Interfaces to Any FRC Databases for Data (TheBlueAlliance, etc): In development
Up to date and Method for Updating: updates to the spreadsheet are posted regularly on http://www.oswegofirst.org and the app is updated on google play.
Whatever other key criteria are helpful:
-it is all based on CSV files exported from the app, which are then imported into the spreadsheet using excel's import tools. All data filtering and lookups are done by the spreadsheet. MAKE SURE YOU ALWAYS USE THE MOST UPDATED VERSION OF THE SPREADSHEET! Some old versions were deep in development, and did not work properly. I can only guarantee the functionality of the latest version.
-data validation in pit scouting makes sure all data is standardized and easily understood.
-advanced lookup capabilities allow comprehensive data filtering by team or match
-printer-friendly "Alliance Lookup" spreadsheet allows for rapid, effective strategy development.

Attached is the latest version of GearScout 2015's spreadsheet system. The app is available for download on Google Play!

I think it is worth mentioning that with FRC Scout you are provided information to directly access the database backend and subsequently you can write your own queries to extract data from it. This will allow for powerful data processing.
