Thanks for the quick response!

Have you gotten out the update to fix 3-digit scores? I'm still having a problem with them, or does it take a few days to make it through to the market.

The only thing that I wish this app had was a picture of each robot. I realize that finding a picture of each robot manually would be ridiculous, but you might be able to get the ones that people upload to TIMS. I also realize that downloading all those pictures would take a long time and take a lot of space, but making it so that the user can optionally download each picture individually from each team page or allowing them to download the pictures for all of the 'favorite' teams would be a good compromise. This is just a suggestion and I still really appreciate all the effort you have put into this great app.

I had an update pop up today and it looks like 3 digit scores are displaying properly for me (I didn't use the app yesterday so I never saw them display improperly).

I went to the market and found the update this morning and it works fine now.

This app was great when we were working on our robot backup pieces and couldn't watch the live Alamo regional feed because it was blocked by our school district. It was fantastic to get the live updates.

I found my problem, my Market app didn't see my installation of FRC Spyder (even though I installed it through the market yesterday) so it didn't alert me to any updates. I reinstalled it from the market and now the 3 digit scores all work. Thanks again for this great app.

Ditto on the thanks. I was wishing I had it this weekend, but never found time to look for it. Got it installed now and am ready for week 2!

Thanks for the update. Is there a way to bump up the number of teams we can get notifications for?

Maybe after the second week of events. We're using Google app engine for our server and Google C2DM for push notifications, both of which have limits (CPU, bandwidth, number of messages per day, etc), some hard and some that lead to us getting charged. I don't want to set limits too high, then go over our quotas. Once we get a better understanding of how close we're coming to the quotas, we'll crank the limit up if we think it's safe.

I'm surprised no one noticed the small bug with RPs. I foolishly thought that RPs were a sum instead of an average, so we truncated the RPs instead of giving the value posted on the official rankings. I'm used to VEX's rules which use the sum, and IMHO is a much better method since it makes the typical "how many RPs do we need to overtake the team in front of us" question trivial.

Look for an update in a day or two that fixes the RP bug. It won't include any other changes since I need to help the team get ready for our first event in Wisconsin this weekend.

Mike,
In another thread FRC Spyder was mentioned as showing which matches minibots made a difference in winning the match. I'm getting old and can't seem to find anything about minibots. Was he mistaken or is my "old timers" acting up again?

The reference was to FRC-Spy which shows the bonus points earned in each match
