As for feedback, I see that the page automagically resizes itself to best fit your screen size.

Can you have the page automatically fill the entire page width (i.e. no blue areas on the side of the screen) on the smaller screen resolutions, so the font sizes in the schedule, match results, etc. pages can be a bit larger?

I've shrunk the margins a bit, but I don't really like the way it looks without margins at all. I've also increased the size of the fonts on the countdown tab; the other tabs aren't really intended to be viewed from afar.

Should be fixed now.

Will you have a version for teams who are scouting in the stands? It seems like getting rankings and match lists and all of this, on a laptop, would be extraordinarily useful for scouts.

Sundial should work in the stands as long as there's a signal, and there's no limit to the number of times a single team can connect. Team 296 typically has three or four instances running simultaneously.

On a related note, did Sundial run at all last year?

It ran at BAE, UTC, Boston, and GTR, as well as in all four Championship divisions last year although there were a lot of problems with the NASA-provided wireless network.

The possibility that's being considered is for FIRST to provide the setup at each event, seeing as the only way to get accurate scoring data is to pull it through a network link from the scoring system, as was done at the Championship last year. I'm not sure FIRST would allow any team to have such a link. That aside, all you need is a computer running Apache/PHP/MySQL/BIND, and a wireless router.

That could possibly just have been me when I was testing it out. Every time the client app requests data from the server, a database field corresponding to the team number is incremented, and I didn't clear the statistics before copying my database from my computer to my webserver.

Would you mind posting a screenshot of this?
Thank goodness for multiquote! :) |
