[RoboScout]

No, sorry to confuse you, the front end is an Android application.

In order to minimize the new development year over year, and to allow the students without a software background to build the application, we wrote a code generator to build the Android application. The code generator takes a spreadsheet file as input, and generates the Java application source files from which the application is built. The code generator supports radio buttons, checkboxes, text fields, a custom scoring matrix for the UI.

Why I mentioned the spreadsheet in my post was that you indicated that your team doesn't have much experience with Android development. Perhaps, we could spin a version of the app for you.

And, yes, there is a 'sync' button on the UI that allows a scouter to sync the collected files on demand. We chose that model early on so that we could make sure that each transfer completed successfully. Now, that we have two seasons under our belt with the application, we may shift over to an auto-sync, but simple and reliable is good, too.
