I have read the forum and I like what I hear. As you know, the award winning SOAP project won an award for sportsmanship. This was because we allowed ALL teams to view our database. This was a new step that we took last year and was a great asset to FIRST teams. But why stop there. This year our next goal is to get other teams involved as well. This is why are have officially teamed up with Wildstang and Techokats. Teaming up with more teams is a strong possibility. We can discuss this more in detail. However, according to the forum, it seems that many teams are going to create their own database with their own booth at FIRST. This does not sound like a teaming effort. Perhaps a better solution is to have one database with many teams feeding the data. This is a lot more efficient and would provide higher accuracy of information.
Every year we try to add more features to SOAP. Some of the new features of SOAP is listed below along those from previous years.
Web Site
- Registration Forms/Team Profile (This will allow teams to enter their scouting information before any competition and can be updated at any time)
- Online database (Teams can query the SOAP database from just about any where)
- Communications (Possibly a forum and or chat server)
- Real-time update (Match information and rankings from competitions)
- Playbook (Different scenarios and their possible scoring advantages)
Database
- Digital Video of matches (Our database stores a digital video of every match, including those from certain regionals)
- Match scores (Our SOAPsters are continuously updating our database with the latest match results)
- Team Rankings (Based on match results, real-time updates of the latest rankings)
- Scouting information (Complete profile of all teams, this includes their strengths and weakness as well as match information)
- Kiosk (A kiosk will be available at the competition for querying of the database and video viewing)
- And much more...
Paging System
- The ability to send alpha pages, cellular pages, and emails.
- Match information (When registered for this service, you will receive match information for the teams you specified)
- On-Deck alerts (When registered for this service, you will receive a page when your team is up next)
- Kiosk (A kiosk will be available at the competition for registration)
Teaming up with other teams would enable SOAP to be at more regionals. We are currently limited to the Motorola Midwest Regional and the National Competition due to space limitations. If you are attending a regional that is space permitting and would like to participate in video recording, please contact us so that we can coordinate this with FIRST thru the proper channels.
From the SOAP team.
