[SVanNess]

How soon before an event does TBA get the matches entered? Just wondering...

Yep. Same issue. We knew it was coming. We didn't have enough time to fix it and stress test the app before Lake Superior. Not due to The Blue Alliance. The Blue Alliance was right in this occasion. The matches weren't posted yet. They don't release the schedule until the end of practice day (to the extent that I know of).

The Blue Alliance gets the data right from the FIRST API. At Lake Superior the schedule was posted on The Blue Alliance (as soon as we got them in paper form). They usually get posted on the end of practice day, or the day of qualifications.

Any update yet? Thanks!

Yep, sorry about the slow reply. We released 2.0.3 on Tuesday and it incorporated the following.

• Lots and lots of bug fixes
• A button to re download the schedule

The button is located under matches for you event, yours would be Kokomo City. When you're there you should find a overflow menu at the top where you can update your match scores, and re-download the schedule. Note, when you do so, you'll lose all of your match data. Here is a video demonstrating so - https://youtu.be/CElGvv-m7K0

We just released version 2.1 of FRC Krawler.

Changes:

• Allow to edit Metrics
• New Metric: CheckBox
• Added more information to CSV export
• Significant UI Improvements
• More robust saving and syncing
• Bug Fixes

CheckBox Metric:
When KnightKrawler was scouting scouting during our first week competition, we noticed clutter in our set of metrics that should be just one metric. Welcome the CheckBox Metric! We wanted a Metric that provided everything we needed to get the job done while keeping it clean, compact, and easy to use. It uses the Chooser Metric principle, custom entries.The output is the number of times a single box is ticked out of the number of data entries for that metric. KnightKrawler plans to use this metric for roles in a match. ex. HP Loading, Landfill, Coopertition.

Note: You can select more than one box. This screenshot isn't very helpful


2052 will be stress testing version 2.1 tonight. So if anything big pops up we'll let you guys know.

Hey Adam! When will Krawler be able to add the 2016 events? TBA has all of the evnts for this year already in. Thanks!

Someone did a PR with that 2 days ago. FRC Krawler will be updated to import 2016 events once we have our build season changes ready. If we don't have the new version ready by week zero, we will update the current version on the Google Play Store with the ability to import 2016 events.

FRC Krawler was open sourced this summer. You can track changes and issues here
I strongly encourage anyone to help out.
