If you want to make an add-on for your browser to use this raw data, be my guest.

If you have bluetooth though, you should consider just tethering your devices to the internet with bluetooth. It's what we do at competitions. As long as you have even one bluetooth enabled internet device, you are set.

While sending the data can work on very sketchy connections, for analyzing the data in Tableau, I strongly recommend USB tethering to your phone to minimize the chance of dropping a connection. Our database is getting pretty big so having a faster, more reliable internet connection is your best friend.

Please PM me if you have any more questions or if there is any way I can help you out for your specific case.

Happy Scouting!

Thanks for the help! I eventually just used a phone as a mobile hotspot, and was able to get the data that way. Unfortunately, I had to borrow another person's phone, as mine doesn't allow me to make a hotspot. I'll have to try using bluetooth tethering.

Re: FRCscout.com A Different Approach to the Scouting Platform

this looks great - we brought it to our members at our team meeting today and they were all "finally, we get a chance to be involved in an easy way!"

thank you thank you thank you!!!!!

Re: FRCscout.com A Different Approach to the Scouting Platform

Thanks, my team started using bluetooth tethering to scout at Buckeye Regional. We submitted pit scouting data but we can't seem to access it from Tableau. It appears on the Website but whenever we download to Tableau nothing from Buckeye Regional appears. I've tried refreshing and redownloading. Any ideas? Thanks a ton.

Re: FRCscout.com A Different Approach to the Scouting Platform

Update: Instead of Downloading the data, I connected to the database from Tableau and it now shows everything. Still not sure what happened, but it's working.

I'm so sorry. In the recent version of the connector file, the pit scouting data isn't included because it messed up the match scouting data.

You will have to do bluetooth tethering at most venues including Champs. We use that method with our tablet-based system.

Re: FRCscout.com A Different Approach to the Scouting Platform

Of the 60-some teams that used the system this year, it looks like 24 of them will be competing at World's (With at least one team on every division!)

One of the best things about this new system is that it makes joint-scouting and pooling resources a lot easier. Hope this helps teams find others to work with:

Do you plan to update this program for the 2016 season? I've been looking at it and I like the idea for our team if it gets updated. Thanks for all your hard work.

Re: FRCscout.com A Different Approach to the Scouting Platform

When will this site be updated for this years game? :deadhorse:

Re: FRCscout.com A Different Approach to the Scouting Platform

Bumping thread

Will FRCscout be updated for 2016?
It looks great and we would love to use it!

Re: FRCscout.com A Different Approach to the Scouting Platform

Hi guys,

I was the lead developer for FRC Scout last year. But I'm now graduated, and can no longer actively maintain the app.

However, from the beginning, this was intended as a community effort. The codebase is open-source and on GitHub, so if anyone is interested in helping to maintain it, please let me know. We are currently in talks with other local teams from the Seattle area to find ways of managing the server-side components of the app, but any code contributions would be much appreciated as well.

Source code for 2015 app
Fork for 2016 (wip)

Please let me know if you have other ideas for contributing. You can also email sam@ingrahamrobotics.org.
