Re: Future FRC Technologies?

Ability for the robots to access the live scoring data from the FMS.
Teams could build their own score overlays into their dashboards or future HUDs.

Robots could actually confirm that a scoring task was complete, very useful for auton.

Lots of other uses I can't think of right now.

Central Stat Database
Sports are better when people have better information. Most other sports (Basketball, baseball, etc) have people that are keeping stats of each player and relaying them to the announcers, and teams. We have dozens of people each match taken down information but we don't have good ways to collect, and verify accuracy. How much better would Einstein announcing be if they could pull up shooting percentages, and shot charts for robots?
