Go to Post It's always better to figure out why a design actually works and the best ways to implement it than to just assume upgrading to a "better" material will make everything work. - Cory [more]

Real happy for the audience this year, but the audiences pleasure is starting to come at the price of the students who this is for.
Minimum you get a UI with 4 on a device synced with the match timer. 2 red buttons two blue buttons, 2 foul buttons, 2 tech foul buttons. Push a button give a team the appropriate penalty and give it a time stamp.
I'm no programmer but I feel like thats a fairly simple app to create considering all the scouting Apps I see out there.
It's not the app that's the problem, it's the human running the app. There are a lot of fouls you can get this year, and they're all named with a letter-number code. It is too taxing for someone to remember all the foul codes, find them on the screen, and assign them to the right robot... while also entering the scoring information for defense crossing and actually catching fouls as well.
