Re: FIRST Scouting Network 2006 Features

Just to let you know -- during the Ypsilanti Great Lakes Regional, we beta tested a scouting program that I wrote for my team (not public yet, but hopefully by the UC Davis Regional). During testing, we discovered that having the + and - button didn't work. I had the same idea and thought it was pretty good, until I discovered that users can't look @ a computer and watch the match at the same time :-\. A good way to fix this is to provide an option that lets one person just enter all of the information gathered by users. Also - you need at least 6 people in order to make that system work because 1 person cannot (accurately) keep track of 2 robots.

It looks like our programs have the same basic functionality, but I'm curious about how much actual recoding you need to do each year to make it work with the new competitions.
