Team 1678 is proud to announce an overview of our 2015 scouting system!
The entirely mobile-based system allows for seamless data collection, visualization, and transfer between Android tablets and smartphones in order to provide our strategy and drive teams with real time data for determining match strategy and alliance selection. The system addressed many problems present in the 2014 system (
http://www.chiefdelphi.com/media/papers/download/4122). We believe that an electronic scouting system can be a powerful tool in optimizing robot and competition performance.
We present a white paper which gives a technical overview of the system, in addition to how the entire scouting process works on 1678. We hope that it will allow more teams to be able to construct and employ a useful and reliable electronic scouting system. In addition, such a system provides incredible learning opportunities for both programmers and strategists.
