FRC Spyder for 2012

[JohnSchneider]

Will there also be an FRC Tracker this year? Both apps work well together in that Spyder lets you see rankings, but Tracker lets you see what the robots actually look like...

[Mike Soukup]

thank you so much for your work on this app

Thanks, Mike!

Thank Dave Flowerday too, he writes the iOS version.

does the app calculate OPR with or without penalties?

FRC Spyder does not calculate OPR. Our focus is match results and rankings. Maybe in the future.

On another note, any news about a possible Blackberry version?

Nope. None of us have a Blackberry and we're too busy with work & other projects to take on another platform.

Will there also be an FRC Tracker this year?

That's not developed by us, but Tom tweeted a couple days ago that he submitted the new version to the App Store.

To repeat what everyone else has said, thank you very much for this. I hadn't known about this last year, but it'll be awesome to use this year.

Works on the Casio Commando. Gonna be a nice addition to the traditional scouting arsenals.

I really appreciate you making the Spyder available; it looks like a great app. I didn't have an Android phone last year so I've only used it for after-the-fact lookups, but it's helpful even for that. I'm looking forward to current data.

I've only a couple of minor suggestions:
1 - It'd be nice if my favorites carried over from year to year.
2 - A search feature in the team list would make it a lot quicker to find a team. Both by number & by name would be helpful.

Anyone have a direct download to the android apk? My market isn't working right.

For the record...FRC Tracker 2012 is now in the apple app store

Does anyone else have a problem with the app clearing favorites after refreshing stats?

I fixed it last night. Grab the update.

Good job guys, had the android version last year and that was perfect and i haven't found anything wrong with the ios version

[Dave Flowerday]

I'm sure this question will come up soon, so to head it off now:

The incorrect match times for the Alamo Regional are coming from FIRST. My guess is that the scoring computer there was incorrectly set for the Eastern time zone instead of Central.

Dave, where do you want bug reports and feature requests to go to?

Love the app (android version), I was using it along side the quad stream of the regionals today =)
But I saw that Hatboro didn't have any real time data :/ I assume that's not the apps fault but that the data is not available online. I hope the rest of the new MAR events have live feed data, it makes scouting SOO much easier.

The field was not communicating with the outside world today due to what sounded like web filtering at the host school. I heard a rumor that an 3G/4G access point might be setup for tomorrow so the FMS can communicate but don't count on it.
