Wildstang's W.A.S.H.
(Wildstang Application for Scouting with Handhelds)
Team 111 is moving beyond the days of entering scouting information with a pen and paper, then entering the data into a central computer. We're developing a system that simplifies the process, decreases the risk of error, and makes more efficient use of the scout's time. WASH allows scouts to use PalmOS handhelds to enter data and upload it directly to the central WASH database. From there, all data gets uploaded to SOAP where it is available to the entire FIRST community. WASH will gather data on every robot for each round it participates in. WASH be getting data such as the team's primary role during the match and how well they performed it; how well a robot handled balls and/or goals; how well the driver and drive system performed; and a few other useful bits of data. WASH is looking for teams who are willing to take shifts scouting at Western Michigan, Midwest, and especially Nationals in order to get coverage of all five playing fields. Team 308 and 470 has already volunteered to help us out at the Midwest Regional and at Nationals. If any teams are able to lend some help for scouting, then they will be able to review crutial strategical information for their matches.
