New Scouting App Released

WOW We are really considering using this! Great work!
I second the autonomous section that would really make this perfect. We heavily use autonomous data to make our selection it is very important to our team.

To make things a little more intuitive, you might want to change the goal scoring from being on/off switches and instead make buttons of 1, 2, 3 and 5 that can be tapped and then display the number of taps next to it. Then you could add those scores together automatically with the climbing points.

Also, it might not hurt to include a section on shots missed.

I will use my B-level of java knowledge (and below average android sdk knowledge) to poke through the code when/if it's released.

It's a great idea, one that I never had the time to develop while a member of a team and now have even less time as a college student. Thanks!

Today, I caught up with several of the ongoing threads related to scouting, specifically tablet scouting systems. Last year, FIRST Team 1073 created on a system for scouting that uses Android tablets and a central data processing application written in Python. It appears to be similar in concept to what FIRST Team 2410 is doing. And, in the spirit of open collaboration, we’d like to put the system out there for other teams to look at and see if it has usefulness for them. All of the source code is open sourced through GitHub, though at the moment enhancements for this year are still being actively developed.

We do realize that the teams who have already invested in a tablet solution probably have a particular attachment to that system and are not likely to consider something different. But, it would be very cool if we could work together on ways that our systems could potentially interoperate and share data. Please PM me if you are interested in getting something going. Additionally, FIRST Team 1073 is going to be trying out a “cloud based” version of our central application this year so that all team members can access our data at comp through a smartphone or 3G tablet. We’re always trying to find different ways to keep everyone informed and engaged throughout the competition events, and this cloud model is something different for us.

If you are a team evaluating a tablet solution, send me a note and I will respond with more detailed information. I initially had the details in this post but it got way too long...Here are links to the current version of our team’s pit and match scouting applications. You should be able to click on each link from a browser on the Android tablet and the package should get installed. The only requirement is that the tablet be running Android 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich).

Android apps are written in JAVA, so that is what I used to code the App. The Bluetooth Server Application will also be coded in JAVA. The database will be created on the Bluetooth Server and it will be an SQLite database, which supports standard SQL queries. Unfortunately I do not know Objective C which is what iPhone Apps are coded in and no one else on the team knows either so as for our team we will not be releasing an iPhone Client.

Some of my teammates know Objective C. I could ask them if they are willing to adapt the app for iPhone.

Thank You for the offer! It would be cool to see a iPhone client developed! I am planning on releasing the code on February 19th. If your programmers are interested, feel free to email me at atcosner@gmail.com, and I can give you the code so your programmers can start! Thank You for the interest in helping!
