Re: Please open source your code!

610's code (we use Java) is available on Google code. Note that it is not yet complete - the code we have changed since competition has not yet been uploaded - programmers need breaks too.

Our scouting system is written in PHP, and contains:
- The scouting form
- Access to the database as both HTML and Excel (.csv) tables
- Pick list assistant
- Easy access to stats for six teams (for match planning)
- A page for entering comments on robots, as well as the ability to flag a team as one that we do not work well with

It's currently not open source, but as soon as I finish explaining to one of our heads the important of open sourcing code, it will be.
I mention this because programming a robot is not that special - every team in FIRST does it. What we can learn from looking at someone else's code is not that extensive. However, everyone's scouting implentation (if it exists at all) will be completely different, and what can be learned from looking at that CAN be extensive.
