FRC Spyder 2014?

[Andrew Rudolph]

I love it and have for many years, thank you so much whoever you are!

The only feature I would like to see, that probably works off the framework in place already, is an "on deck" feature. Basically if a user creates an on deck alert for a team, lets say they are in match 23, when the score for match 22 goes up it gives an alert to the user that the subscribed team is up next. Would help at home or at events to make sure I watch the team in a match.

I would like to sincerely thank you for this app. I can not even imagine going through a single day of the competition season without it! Please know that for every annoying, ungrateful person, there are many, many more of us who truly appreciate your efforts!

THANKS!

FRC Megaphone does exactly that, amongst other things.

Thank you to everyone involved in FRC Spyder for everything you have done and continue to do for the FIRST community.

When I started competing in FRC, we had to go back to the monitor in the pits anytime we wanted to check the standings at an event. The only way to know the match schedule was to have a paper copy. And good luck trying to keep track of what was going on at a event you weren't either attending or watching on a webcast (if there even was one).

Now you ungrateful kids stop bothering these nice people who are just trying to make life easier for you. And stay off my lawn.

This. All of this.

Oh, and also: Haters gonna hate.

Now that I know who to thank, thanks so much for an awesome app (and at the best price, too!). For every jerk making unreasonable complaints, there's a silent majority who loves the work you do.

And for what it's worth, if you guys need help with developing the Android version of Spyder, let me know, I'd love to chip in - I'm more than competent with the SDK.

FRC Spyder is on my home page every competition season. Thank you.

One application that hit me (and totally a 2015-if-ever thing): predictions in elimination rounds will invariably compute the same numbers for each alliance for all those matches. Once the elimination schedule is set, perhaps it could take that information and predict the bracket?

Spyder saved my butt today when I tried to follow teams at three regionals while doing a demo with my own team! It's a great tool to have in the box.

Quick poll of users, especially those at or following the Pacific Northwest district championship. Was Spyder working for you today? We received a single, yet adamant, complaint from a parent who is following her son's team that it wasn't updating. We had no problems with our phones though when we investigated.

Wasn't tracking anyone at PNW, but I was getting a few (2-4) notifications from NECMP where I wasn't following any teams.

I was at the PNW championship and it stopped updating for me after round 10. I kept going back and trying to update again every 20 minutes or so but it never downloaded new data. (I just tried it again now, a couple hours after the event closed for the day, and it did get the data.)

Never noticed a hitch for me today at the PNW district championships. I was at the event, but following several teams there and I was reliably getting instant push notifications following matches and in-app updates whenever I refreshed. Awesome app for tracking multiple teams and checking schedule/standings throughout the event.

Pretty wacky OPR's in the PNW so far, 4 teams have OPR over 200, highest at 280. The highest two OPR's exceed any of their alliance match scores. I assume it's just a glitch from the small sample size though, will likely straighten itself out in a couple more rounds.

OPR is never accurate at any event until each team has played at least 6-7 matches. It most definitely is a sample size issue.

I haven't had any problems today, my dad's isn't updating though. We both have a Samsung Galaxy, same carrier. It's strange...

While I was at MSC, I'd try to update, it'd go for a short while, say "Update Successful," but wouldn't have actually updated (still had old teamlist). Wasn't a problem with cell service, because I was doing other things at the time as well. After I did this a couple dozen times, it eventually started working and continued to work the rest of the day. I want to say it working coincided with the start of matches, but I'm not sure.
