Fantasy FIRST?

Okay, I'm aware of the fantasy league here on chief Delphi lol, but I'd like to see a dedicated website! I think it would be something cool to include for each comp stream

There was a crack team of FIRST experts who banded together to try to make a Fantasy FIRST site and it never even got off the ground (Top level people in FIRST are also very busy people with families and other interests). I wish you luck on your endeavor.

Making such a website would be a very time consuming endeavor. It would take more than some simple JS and PHP in order to have the drafts run properly and constantly update event lists and scores. If you do find the time and resources to do so, you're welcome to and we'd all definitely use it.

I would start by looking at the The Blue Alliance API

Understanding how the Blue Alliance works will greatly enhance your knowledge of building a Fantasy FIRST site.

Is there any documentation to this end? Specifically, I'd be interested in a high level overview of how the application achieves certain tasks, but drilling down into the dense code base sounds not fun.

https://github.com/gregmarra/the-blu...-Documentation is the only one I know of. But I'm never sure how up to date that is.

https://github.com/gregmarra/the-blu..._controller.py is the relevant controller. (I think) and https://github.com/gregmarra/the-blu...er/api_main.py is likely the other file you'd need to poke around to get started.

There also is a Google Group that is pretty well supported: https://groups.google.com/forum/#!fo...nce-developers.

If you need TBA API help, you are far more likely to find something there than on CD.
