It's actually evolved into a front end for a pseudo state machine defined in a JSON file. What you can enter varies based on what state the robot is in, then it outputs a detailed log of all interactions and a summary file that can be loaded into Excel or Tableau. That way I can just update the JSON on a per season basis. I'm hoping to have the 8.1 app itself up on the store by Jan 1 and a Win 10 Universal app ready by week zero. But of course it's an as available project.

It's been much improved since I last published it https://www.microsoft.com/store/apps/9wzdncrdlvx7
