Team 1678 is proud to announce a review and description of our 2014 scouting system!
The mostly tablet-based system worked very well for us this year, allowing for seamless data transfer between data-collecting Android tablets and smartphones with our drive team to provide real time data for strategizing. It offered significant improvements over our previous version from last year (view the 2013 white paper at
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...highlight=1678). We believe that our system was a major contributing factor to our success both during qualification matches and for alliance selections.
We present a white paper which gives a technical overview of the system. We hope that it will inspire programmers on other teams to create their own scouting apps. Ultimately, Team 1678 believes that having students create a sophisticated scouting app is an incredible learning opportunity through which they can gain significant programming experience.
