Good news, everyone!

We have contacted both NE FIRST and GameSense. Francis O'Rourke and Ty Tremblay of GameSense quickly got back to us and we are working together to make a live stream of Week Zero possible!

There are still a few questions that we need answered from our host venue, but we are getting closer to having a webcast of Week Zero. More information will be supplied soon.

We're excited for the opportunity! The plan is to offer a single camera full field view that we'll stream on the GameSense Twitch channel.

If you have any questions, feel free to post here or PM me.

Maybe contacting NE FIRST or FIRST HQ could make this possible.

Have no fear, the ORIGINAL Week "0" event, Suffield Shakedown will be streaming via team 230, the Gaelhawks, http://www.shsrobotics.org/webcasts.

Re: Official FIRST Week Zero 2016

We are looking to use this to test our scouting system. Would it be possible for the match schedule to be posted online?

It should be available via the FRC API

And it should be available on TBA as well. Hooray for preseason dry runs!

@ all: What language do you use to access the FRC API?

TBA uses python.

I have the following bash function defined for local testing (using httpie):

Code:

function frc-api {

    AUTH=$(echo -n '<username>:<token> ' | base64)

    http $1 "Authorization: Basic ${AUTH}"

}

I use C# for the FRC API but that's mostly for Visual Studio and WindowsForms so I can make fun GUIs. I use python for the TBA API.

I'm looking at transitioning from FRC API (which I used last year) to TBA API for 2016.

Quick question, my apologies if it's documented somewhere: can TBA provide results in XML format, or even better in CSV?

We decided against XML because it really increases size of our responses, which matters when we pay for bandwidth (TBA used 30 gigabytes of bandwidth last Friday + Saturday - every byte adds up). The simpler we can keep the whole system, the easier it is to support and build on (which is important, since we maintain TBA on top of day jobs/college)

You can find the full api spec on this page: http://www.thebluealliance.com/apidocs. As a note, we added in the defense/match stats to the API the other day - the same data you can find on the event pages (pull request)!

If you have any other questions, you can PM me or Eugene, file an issue on GitHub, or post to our mailing list.

EDIT: totally missed the CSV part the first time. We don't supply CSV data either (It's hard to apply structure with csv results). But, if all you're looking for is match results, I made an auto-updating Google Sheet you could use:

Here, I whipped this up. It should auto-update every 15 minutes: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...it?usp=sharing
