Lightbulb Re: Scouting help.

At WPI, my team used a paper scouting system that consisted of a double-sided pit scouting and match scouting sheet for each team at the event. I got negative feedback from the match scouters about it being hard to organize.

At Boston, a mentor and his daughter had worked on a web app that allowed for pit and match scouting. It included a defense selector based on pit scouting data, as well as rankings based on statistics such as high and low goal shot and defense crossings. It was very bare bones visually and received many updates over the weekend, but those were mostly due to starting late on the project, and we hope to have an app that is better put together for 2017.

If you private message me, I can give you the link and login credentials so you can see for yourself. If we run into you guys at an event next season, I'm sure my team would be more than happy to work with you, as our main issues have had to do with actually having enough people actively scouting to put our systems to use. I will also be speaking with the team members about the specific makings of the app.
