[TBA] The Blue Alliance 2016 Season Updates

[Eugene Fang]

The latest version of the Android app (3.4.5) is in the Play store just in time for Champs! Nothing huge in this version, just some bugfixes.

In addition, we're introducing a couple new things on the website.

The first is the myTBA Dashboard!
This will give you an at-a-glance overview of your favorite teams that are currently competing. Simply click "myTBA" in the top navigation bar.




The other is match and ranking predictions, which will update throughout the event.
Note that these are JUST FOR FUN and perhaps to be utilized as a tool to pinpoint pivotal matches, not to discourage teams from performing to their best. To view predictions, click on the "Advanced Insights" button at the top of an event page as shown below.






Here are direct links to all 8 divisions:

Currently, the Championship division predictions have the team numbers redacted because the match schedule is preliminary and we want to respect FIRST's request to not rehost the schedule until they are final. Once the official schedule is out, the numbers will appear.
