Re: FIRST Scouting Network 2006 Features

Adam, this sounds fantastic. I was just getting ready to sit down and knock something like this out myself. It sounds like you're addressing the features I was thinking of. I would address it more simply because I'm afraid all the extra bells and whistles your adding may not get the data input from the users as the matches drag on and on and people get bored filling everything in. I'm really curious what data you plan to get, as this will determine its usefulness to my team. For match results I'm only looking for:

Team#
Match#
Shoot score
Dump Score
Defense y/n
Ramp y/n
Autonomous score
malfunction y/n

I'd love to help/use what your creating, hopefully it will suit our needs. I plan to keep a laptop on the cart to get the data while queuing, and also prematch pit visits etc. Therefore the routers location is an issue. At UCF for instance we always get put outside in the tent, and I'm wondering if theres a way to relay the address? I could bring a router and set something up in our pit if you needed (as I'm sure we'll be outside).

Anyhow, if you could, please let me know if you're collecting the aforementioned data - and displaying it fairly straight forward. I was just going to have a report that showed all the participating teams history something like:

Quote:
for my upcoming match #??
team 1234 - match 2 - shoot 5 - dump 20 - defense y - ramp n - auto 12 - mal y
team 1234 - match 9 - shoot 20 - dump 2 - defense y - ramp n - auto 9 - mal n

team 5678 - match 3 - shoot 0 - dump 10 - defense n ramp y - auto 30 - mal n
etc
I'm sure yours will be sweet, and thanks for sharing it. Please count me in as a test user.
