Presenting MorScout - FRC scouting system for iOS, Android, and web

[Tomker]

While playing around with the app and trying to figure it all out we ran into a few problems (I realize some of these are quite stupid but we wouldn't wanna find ourselves stuck with no way to use a data gathered through 2 days of competition because of a minor misclick...):
- I created a team profile for our team and could not remember the team code I put in afterwards, and was not able to find what to do to restore it...
I did have a clue and one team member did manage to guess it and get signed in but it was not clear which of her guesses was the right one
- After she got in I tried figuring out the whole 'admin, leader, member' thing and tried figuring what happens if I delete myself. The result was she was the only member in the team and was not able to make any changes to the team profile, therefore she was forced to change the email and phone number listed under her profile to allow her to create a new one to join a new team profile we created
- After creating this new team profile I kept playing with 'admin, leader, member' and made myself a leader instead of the admin and now no one is the admin and there's no way to change it back (Again I know it's stupid that I even tried it but we really wanted to test everything to figure out how things work)
- After submitting some fake match scouting on our own team we couldn't figure out how to delete the data
- As the admin and leader, the only person I was able to asign tasks for was myself and not the other members

Sorry for listing all of these in what seems like a negative comment, we really loved the app and its interface and would really love using it in future competitions (the only one we have left for this season is the championship so there's plenty of time till then).
Thank alot for putting it together and good luck with perfecting it (it already is pretty close to being perfect)

Can you have a type of data point where we can pick multiple options? Like radio buttons, but we should be able to pick multiple answers. Also, can we make some answers optional?

There is no way to do it via the User Interface because the team's unique code is how it is identified in the server. Have you forgotten the code? If so, I can privately message it to you. If you dislike the code and haven't really done anything with the team's settings/users, I can delete the team and let you create a new one. Let me know

Thanks

I think I might have lost my teams code could you PM it to me?

You can use a series of checkboxes.

Right now, there isn't a great way to do this, but you can do it like this:

• Dropdowns / radio buttons - add an N/A option
• Textboxes - already optional
• Number boxes - add -1 as an option and use that

Is this an upcoming feature? None of those workarounds will work very well for what we want.

Thanks!

P.S. Also, is there a way to INSERT a data point rather than add it to the end like it does currently?
P.P.S. One more thing, I tried making the minimum of the Number Box to "-1", but it threw an error

We want to add this some time in the future, but it is not our biggest priority right now because workarounds exist and there are other features we want to add...

like this one. This is at the top of the to do list and should be done by the end of today.

The three options for the number box are start, minimum, and maximum, in that order. Were you editing the starting point instead of the minimum? We realized that this is confusing and will make the interface clearer.

The website has now been updated to display the team code on http://www.morteam.com/team assuming you are already logged in. If you forget your team code again just shoot me an email at support@morteam.com and i'll get back to you as soon as i can.

We have now made it impossible for the only-admin of a team to be removed or demoted

We have added this feature on the website per your request. The update should also be available on the mobile apps soon.

I don't quite know what the issue is. Could you elaborate please? Are you talking about tasks or scouting assignments? In order to assign tasks you have to go the said user's MorTeam profile and click "assign task". In order to assign scouting assignments you need to go to said user's MorScout profile and assign the task there.

Thank you for trying MorScout/MorTeam and giving us your feedback! It really helps us improve our services for all the teams!

Ypu, that was the problem. Works now :-)

I was talking about scouting assignments. Guess I was just confused and couldn't figure it out.

We'll try do a full event demo using our data from the Israel regional and let you know how it goes and if we ran into any other kind of trouble...

You are amazing for replying and updating it so fast, thanks alot for doing so and keep up the good work!

Update: We have added the ability to create new data points anywhere in the scouting form instead of just at the end. To move a data point, you can delete the old one and recreate it somewhere else.

Wow, this app looks amazing! I'm going to talk to my team about using this at our next event.

Quick question though- how do teams collect information for pit scouting on Android / Web platforms? I'm able to edit the form on the web, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to enter pit scouting data. I'm probably just missing something obvious.

Any help would be appreciated!

If you go to the "all teams" or "team list" page and click on a team, you should be able to pit scout them.

Thanks, I'll try to make this more obvious in the future.

This looks great. I hope we get a critical mass for community scouting MSC!
