Re: Scouting System Requirements

Last year, our team had six students for each match, each watching one robot, fill out a sheet counting laps, hurdles, etc. and then this data was inputted via a Swing GUI to a tab delimited .txt file that Excel could read. Then we had a separate GUI that could read this file and process this raw data. It could give raw data, average scores, and maximums . It also was able to sort and search.
Java also had features to play back match videos and pictures so it had media as well.

Our team will most likely do something similar this year - counting the number of moon rocks a team shoots and makes and watching for supercells as well. We will also make note of scoring by the human players.
