Team 768's Scouting Beta

Good evening.

Trying to compensate our failed attempt last year at a Windows Mobile scouting application, Team 768's taken just a bit longer this year than planned to get a beta of a scouting application up and running. Just in time for the first week's competitions, we think we have solution that's easy to use and low maintenance.

While it's not fully tested, we'd like to offer it to any team that would like to play around with it this weekend. There will (hopefully) be a link to it on our website (www.team768.org) by the end of the weekend, but in the meantime, the current beta can be downloaded from http://71.206.53.237/webstart/FRCScout.jnlp. The application requires Java SE 5.0 to run (freely available from Sun). As it is a Java WebStart application, updates should be automatically detected and downloaded when you run it while connected to the Internet.

We also have, for import, a CSV with basic information for tomorrow's New Jersey Regional at http://71.206.53.237/webstart/NJ.csv, which can be imported into the application through the menu. If this works out, we'll see if we can't make other regionals' lists available.

Let us know what you think of the application, and good luck to everyone!
