Team 624 has developed a scoring/strategy program to be used in real time during a competition. Not only does it keep score but it more importantly supplies the alliance with suggested actions to maintain a lead while maximizing qualifying points taking into account the positions of the goals, robots, and ball counts. It operates in several stages depending on the time of the match---in the first 30 seconds, it suggests actions to maximize the score difference, in the middle 1 minute, it maximizes the opp. score while maintaining the lead, and in the last 30 seconds, advises the alliance on which endzone to put their robots depending on the score difference. It's a very useful program that has helped our alliances a great deal. It runs on laptops and Pocket PCs (Casios and Compaq IPAQs). I don't know anything about writing programs for the PALM, but please contact me for more information on the scoring/strategy program.
