Re: Introducing my team's (in development) scouting app, ThunderScout

The only 2 things that I might like to see added is a way to track what match number the stats were recorded in, and the second being an option for a robot's picture. The first we like just to ensure we aren't reading duplicate data accidentally recorded (say 2 students record the same robot during the same match by accident). The match number can also let us track how a team progressed through a regional. The second we find helpful for during our scouting meeting. Being able to let people pull up a picture of the robot you're talking about rather than remembering who team xxyy is in a list of 60 can be much easier.

Again, the app looks fantastic so far and can't wait to see this revised for 2017 SteamWorks.
Happy to hear that this app may be of some use to you!

I was expecting someone to eventually request match numbers. I implemented the timestamp instead because in my experience, scouts often forget what the match number is, but I'll consider adding it in the future.

Robot pictures is more of a pit scouting thing. I've considered adding a pit scouting mode, but haven't found time to pursue avenues such as that yet.
