Performance Scouter

[tomy]

With the iPad I'm using a program called team viewer to control my laptop with my iPad . It works fine. I can bring up the iPads keyboard to type numbers and letters. The issue with the keypad is that it's big and kinda in the way. Maybe there is a way so the user can move it around. Also I do not know if this is happening to you but when ever I put in a team number it beep/makes a noises that is quick annoying since I have to put in 6 different teams. Another idea for the keypad is to have a checkbox for the user to either have the keypad or not. But otherwise this is a great program for teams that do not have a a lot of members for scouting. Its nice and very organized and easy to sort data basked on what you want. The other question I had was if you could put in all the matchs before they even start. Then go in order and a follow the matches so you would not have to worry about that in between matches? Once again this is a nice program.

I can add that. I'll try to have that by tomorrow.

I have no idea about the beep. There are no sounds intentionally programmed in. Did it make that sound before the number pad? The checkbox should be no problem. I guess I'll put it in the scheduler screen. (running out of room on the main screen)

Actually, that is already part of the program, although that reminds me that I need to include that in the instructions. In the scheduler screen, click New Match a few times, and then click on a grid space to input the team that goes there. They will then be entered in automatically when that match comes up. If you ever miss a match, you can rename the current match being recorded in the play screen by clicking on where it says the current match. I think I will add the option of changing the current match from the scheduler screen though, now that I think about it.

And I did get the opening file prompt working, and it is in the current version. I also changed the main file extension to .tmm, as there are other programs that use .ini, and bad things could happen if the user loaded something else's file. (you can still load old .ini's though) Again, let me know if it's worth it, or if it should go back to the way it was before.

Thanks for all the great feedback!

Okay! I just added the options of hiding the number pad, moving the number pad around, and the other things I mentioned above. (the number pad disable button is attached to the number pad) I also fixed an issue with the touch scroll hopping around when you scroll too high.

I wish it would allow me to edit the original post so I could summarize all the changes. Oh well.

here is a scouting sheet that im using for it

also i cant save matches and i don't know what does it work on yours?

I'm not sure I understand your question. It doesn't save the inputs on your machine? When you end a match it should ask whether to save, and then it should add the data to the .ini or .tmm file specified at startup, to be viewed from the main screen.

When I'm done with a match I hit done and the save and yes j want to save, and it dose nothing.

[Bryany]

Hmm. So no match data goes onto the main screen at all? (or does it simply freeze?) Is the file specified at startup in the same directory as the executable? (that shouldn't matter anymore, but it could) Has this always happened or only since the windows prompt at startup? And is that without using the iPad extension? (sorry for all the questions, but this could be a serious bug, and I can't duplicate it on my end)

I made some screenshots of what it looks like on my screen, with data from the St. Louis regional:

I think I've found the problem. This bug will occur if the chosen filename has symbols that normally are not allowed in filenames. Right now, it lets you choose bad filenames, and then when it tries to save it can't save anything with the bad name and stops.

I'll try to implement a name checker to prevent this in the future.

EDIT: The prompt actually does check for bad characters. This bug also occurs when you hit cancel at startup instead of entering a filename.

EDIT2: This bug is now (hopefully) fixed. The program will no longer let you cancel or enter no filename. Popup messages have also been more customized.

Update: I just added the feature of exporting the stored data in Excel .csv files! This, combined with the print feature, should make it very compatible with whatever your preferred scouting methods may be. Let me know if you find any bugs, or of any suggestions you may have for the program!

[Bryany]

Update: You can now assign pictures to each team, so that you can view their robot in the program while you compare their stats!

[Bryany]

Update: You can now enter in team data for individual teams, not in sets of six. Meaning that if you assign a person to watch each position and to fill out their own form for copying into the program at the conclusion of a match, you don't necessarily have to worry about having all the data before you can start inputing data. Simply enter positions you are not recording as the team number '0'.

----------
On another note, I was wondering if someone from each division using this (or a similar) program would be willing to pool their data to compile a master list at St. Louis? 1094 will be recording Galileo.

Will there be a 2012 version of this soon?
I would love to use it.

Whoops! Wrong thread! Having 5 threads open at once is problematic.

*************************************
* The 2012 version is ready for its first release! *
*************************************

It is essentially the same layout as the 2011 version. Now, though, Automode and Teleop recording is done in stages. Select the mode at the top of the match screen. This year there's an additional ability to record fouls and defense points. Defense recording is necessarily a little subjective though. You add a defense point whenever a team steals a ball or blocks a shot. (If you don't want to record something, you can of course just leave that part zero.)

I've also sped up the table display and sorting considerably. In a few days I hope to optimize the file I/O speed and add a better instructions screen.

Due to the nature of this year's game, I'm not sure how well this tallying method will work. It might be too difficult to track all the data accurately. (unless you have a large scouting team )


Let me know what you all think!

I am missing a link for this year's version? I don't see it
