Hi all,
One of the things I've been working on is a computerized scouting system for competitions. Basically the idea is to host a web server on a computer at competition and have other computers connect to it to input data. Here are some features that the system has:
- Customizable data fields (currently supports numerical and true/false data)
- Ability to open multiple input forms at once (in case computing resources are limited)
- Comment system for qualitative data
- Ability to rank teams based on any parameter
- Completely portable - can even be installed to a USB stick
The database system can be downloaded from
http://othsrobotics.ca/scouting.html. A guide on how to use it is also available on that page.
Please be advised that there are still some minor bugs in the program so it might behave erratically. I hope to have an update out to fix the bugs before regionals start on Thursday, but if not I will update the guide to include workarounds for the remaining problems
