: I have created a scoring program that is available to all. Please visit
www.metalinmotion.com to download it.
Looks good! Will you be releasing source?
Trevor McCulloch posted in "A Big Question??????" thread that he was going to do a visual scoring program as well.
I believe that our team's software folk are going in a slightly different direction with this idea. They're trying to have a timer running in sync with the game timer and dynamically update scores on user input. One person's task is to simply input new ball counts, new robot-in-endzone counts, etc. and the program will show projected point totals (post-multiplier), so that the alliance will see if it is a good idea to score now or try to fill up another goal. (Projected scores may be available in a second version.)
Are any other teams interested in this kind of program?
