What data analysis tool(s) do you guys use for your team pick lists?
The use of QR codes for data transfer is brilliant . No pesky cables to trip over, no on again/off again Bluetooth reliability issues. Just need to ensure that the devices are kept charged up for use.
Any plans for importing match schedules into the user app prior to the qualification matches in order to help the scouts select the teams to watch?

I do believe that we have the intentions of configuring it to the 2016 game as soon after kick off as we can. Unfortunately the code for the app is not open YET. I'm not sure why, as we release all of our robot code. I can check on that with the programming team once we start meeting up again. As far as data analysis, it's not very complicated. It would be just like if you had all the data on paper, but instead it's nice and neat, organized and available. I'm not on the scouting team so I'm no expert in what they do. However I know that the hassle of tons of papers has been relieved from our team, and has simplified the picking of teams that we would want to work with us.

Your final question is very intriguing. It is a great idea that I can pass on to those in charge of the app and scouting in general. I can see them working that in using TBA's open source. We will definitely consider it.

If you PM or (even better) send an email to our Lead Mentor, I'm sure that he can find a way to get you guys the source code for the app. This is his profile page. There is a link for sending him an email.

I hope this helped! I can gladly answer other questions if you have any!
