Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Great work guys! The only thing I would suggest is just have some sort of regular menu button to make i more user friendly, but overall, awesome work!

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Great app!:)

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Version 1.0.3.3 does include this MENU button along with the Double Tap. This update is currently rolling out!

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Nice job on the app. Looking forward to our team using it.

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Considering teams only get one match beforehand of time to finalize a strategy based on chosen defenses, I think using Bluetooth and this app to strategize would be fine so long as you are following the rules. I would have the rules related to this memorized or a copy of the rules in case you are questioned by volunteers.

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Thanks for making this! :) Our team got the app and it's pretty cool. My team is probably going to use it this season, to replace the whiteboard we were using for a similar purpose last season.
I have only complaint: You can undo your last few changes or you can clear the field, but otherwise, there isn't really a way to selectively erase. This would be a very useful thing to have. I also agree with Jaxom's idea that this should have an "only one for each category" restriction with regard to the defenses. Otherwise, the app is great, and I love it's simplicity. Very easy to use, and to learn to use.

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Folks,

Just in case there is any confusion ...

In earlier posts, when I wrote that you should not [plan to] send anything from the stands to the field - I had in mind the restrictions imposed by G29 and T26-1.

Those two forbid creating even the possibility of communication to the field from anywhere else. They don't care what physical layer protocol (Bluetooth, WiFi, whatever) might be involved. Their point is that no devices capable of communicating are allowed. And ... If no communication devices are allowed at the field, planning to communicate from the stands to the field would require violating a rule.

I'm being a little imprecise when I use the term "field" to paraphrase the terms actually in the rules, but in practical terms, when you are leaving the pre-match queue, it's time put all communication devices away. At that time, if you haven't drawn, printed, or memorized your shared plan, I don't think that you will be allowed to use a loose phone or tablet to display it.

If I'm wrong, and there is a way to display a plan on any typical general-purpose computing device, please let me/us know. I presume that using a tablet, laptop, phone, etc. would require convincing the referees both that all the communication capabilities on the device had been successfully disabled before the device reached the field, and that those capabilities would unambiguously remain disabled while the device was at the field.

Am i overlooking some other pertinent rule?

Blake.

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Cool and very useful app!
I'm using LG G4 and the app doesn't run smooth, there are two bugs:
1. I can drag robots/boulders only on Y axis.
2. If I want to change a specific defense, I need to touch one defense left from it.

Do you know to explain it? Someone else had this problem?

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Thanks! GamePlan developer here, I was able to test the app on an LG G4 and I unfortunately did not see the above problems happen. Maybe try updating the app to Version 1.0.5?

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

The last version I see on Google Play Store is 1.033..

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

It works great on my G4

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Just downloaded the app! Looks great and can't wait to play around with it a little more. Would appreciate an eraser tool. Also, I cannot figure out how to move the robots around. Other than that. Awesome job.

Re: FRC GamePlan Strategy App
 

Much appreciated! Thanks! You have to hold the robot in the menu for like a second and then it will automatically pop a robot up on the field that you can drag with your finger. You delete them by dragging it into the castle.

Thanks for developing this Atif and Techhounds!

PLEASE MAKE AN IPHONE VERSION
