This Android scouting app was tested out at the Utah Regionals last weekend. With a couple of regionals left to go, I post it here in the hope that it might be useful.

I haven't had a chance to build up databases for the various competitions - team numbers and team names - the rest of the data you need to collect on site. If anyone would like to enter the teams and post them, that would be great. I'll see if I can find time.

You need an SD card to run the app. The database is stored as "scouting" on the SDCard (so /sdcard/scouting). The database is a sqlite database, so you can pull it off onto another system (Android or otherwise). This means that you can pass it around (sneakernet).

If you want to get a feel for the app, the data from the Utah regional is in the attached database. Put it on the SD card, start the APK, hit the populate button and choose a team, then edit the team.

The program seems fundamentally solid, and the information gathered seems to work well with match data. Please let me know if you find any show-stopper bugs. There are a few tweaks that I'd make if I had it to do again, but those kinds of things will probably have to wait for next year.

Good scouting to all and don't panic at alliance selection time!
