3309 Friarbots developed the OC Regional app and so far it has been working very well!
And be sure to check out their website to help connect teams with mentors! Mentor Maps!

The planning committee approached them with a general idea, and they have turned the app into something that is helping to streamline the event and create a better team experience. They came up with adding the match queue section of the app.
Tomorrow the Queue section of the app goes online, and I know that it is going to be amazing!
We wanted the app idea to be restricted this year to only the OC Regional for testing purposes, and to set an example that the regional is always keeping the team experience in mind.
3309 has plans to make the app easily functional at future events, hopefully this offseason, at regionals all over California, and one day the world!
We are very open to feedback on how to further improve the app so please feel free to let me know if you have any ideas. I will be going around the pits tomorrow asking teams about how they feel about the app.
