SuperScouter For FRC -- A Multiplatform, Extensible Scouting System

[orangemoore]

When you are recording match data how are you meant to distinguish matches/teams for that piece of data? Do you just need to include it in the data you collect?

[jkoritzinsky]

Yep. In the current version you need to include those data entries manually.

Hello,

I was thinking of making my own scouting app and wanted to know if people liked SuperScouter. If people like it then it might just be worth stuck with it.

This is awesome! Last year even though I wasn't on my team I helped with scouting (I'm a sibling of a senior team member and attended every single competition), and it definitely isn't the funnest thing on the planet, so I'm really glad to see this coming out. It looks really cool!

A quick question: do you know when the app will be available for download on the App Store?

[Mike Marandola]

This seems like a really great system. The only thing is that the app keeps crashing on all of my devices (tried on a Galaxy S6, Nexus 4, Nexus 5, and Nexus 7). I made a schema and downloaded it to my device but when I tap 'Enter Data' and select the schema, the app crashes.

Do you have any specific plans/roadmap for when newer types of Schema will be added?

It is available now. For some reason Chief Delphi won't let me edit the original post any more...

Ok, that's weird. It shouldn't be crashing at all at that point. I have multiple safeguards to make sure it doesn't crash there and shows an error message instead. Did you try creating a new schema and testing with that?

New data types probably won't come until after the season so as to avoid bugs in version incompatibilities during the initial season. Also because I'm back in school and this semester is looking to be pretty (read: really) difficult in comparison to last semester.

Thanks for all your hard work and all the information. I would love to test however I'm unclear on to how to "Start HTTP Server" I've downloaded the server and got a couple of schemas created but the "Start HTTP Server" button remains inactive (grayed out). How does that button become active? I am running the server from a laptop that has Windows 7 as the OS. Any guidance would be greatly appreciated, or please point me to documentation/white papers for reading, if available. Thank you!

You need to enter a "Regional" name. Then exit that field.

[jkoritzinsky]

Some documentation is now available at http://github.com/jkoritzinsky/SuperScouter4FRC/wiki. I'd put this in the first post, but CD won't let me edit it any more.

Thank you for making this system. I love how easy it is to customize to my team's personal needs - I feel like a lot of apps aren't very flexible and I'm very picky with what I want on my scouting sheets. My team is using this for competitions this year!

That is the whole reason I made this app. I wanted it to be customizable because that makes both me and teams happy. I'm happy because now I get to work on new features each year instead of rebuilding from effectively scratch, and teams are happy because they get to collect the data that they want!

Hi, I was wondering if there are any plans to make it so you can pull all sent data from the server from a phone with the app. I am hosting a server over the internet and I just realized that the only option I see to get an export of all data entered is through the server, which is an issue if you are not hosting locally. If the feature is there please guide me to it, if not I would love to see it added, without it it is more or less useless to me, because QR codes have no advantage over paper, and you can't host your own wireless network at a competition.
Thanks,

Currently there is no way to pull data back to the phone since on most devices there is not a unified location to export the data to. Why do you think that QR codes have no advantage over paper? Sure you still have to scan them, but you don't need to manually enter the data into the spreadsheet. Other than the scanning process, it is the exact same as the HTTP transfer method.

I'll add the feature to the backlog though.

You can use Bluetooth to connect to competition.
