FRC Abacus - alliance selection and elims Android app

[kenavt]

FRC Abacus is an Android app (tested with devices running 4.1 and above, but should be compatible with devices down to 2.3), designed to be an alliance selection and eliminations companion. During alliance selection, one simply picks the teams that have been picked (in order), and they are sorted into their proper alliance. Then, during eliminations, one can use the app to double-check the alliances, and who plays who in the quarterfinals and beyond. Alliances can also be shared/exported through the top-right button. A little bit of lag is to be expected after installation, but then the app will be ready to go!

The app currently just has the 2013 IRI team list, ready for Saturday afternoon!

If anyone has any private quesitons, comments, or bug reports, feel free talk to me at the 2013 IRI (I will be volunteering at the table running the IRI video archiver), or send me a PM here on CD or email me (kenavt at gmail dot com).

If you don't want to travel to the Play Store (and the app has been taken off temporarily), here are some in-app screenshots:

Looks great! I'll be the first to ask - any plans for an iOS version?

Unfortunately, nope - not at this time. I'm not at all familiar with iOS, and have no plans to be so for the time being (seeing as I own none).

Will it work at IRI? If so, will it work not at IRI?

Currently, it will work at IRI and nowhere else (due to the 4-team alliance, non-serpentine draft order). I plan to issue an update post-IRI to be able to "create" competitions for alliance selections, and restore the alliance selection order as 3-team alliances in serpentine draft order.
