FSN Goal??

[Erin Rapacki]

FSN needs to be a centralized website (I had thoughts about this last fall, but it didn't go anywhere cuz i'm not a webmaster)

On the main fsn page there will be a list of all the team numbers (possibly with team names next to the numbers)

When you click on a number, you enter a teams designated area.

On the main team page there will be a link to the team's website, pictures of robot, team location, events attending.

There will be a link to a form that may be filled out anonymously (or scouters may put their team # on it). But only one person may fill out a form with a username and password associated with it. This way, a single scouter may change data as time progresses.

I assume that there will be hundreds of forms filled out for each team, people may view everyone's forms and opinions concerning that team.

However, compiling hundreds of people's data could be time consuming, so we'll design the form to be mostely multiple choice.

When the multiple choice things are clicked on (similar to the polls on delphi), you'll get a percentage of people who clicked a certain choice. (under the belief that the majority is correct)
- on the main page, for each question, the multiple choice answer with the greatest percentage will be posted
- however, there will be a link off the main page so people may view the total percentage for every answer of a question on a secondary page

I understand that teams will look at their own page and figure out what things they need to work on. I only hope that as a team tries to make themselves better, that scouters will change their data on the forms to remain consistant.

Because you are incorportating the opinions of many, I dont think that anyone would post ill information to bring a team down. But if that happens, there are so many people submitting information that it shouldn't matter too much.

As with any scouting system, this method isn't completely fool proof. Use it as an aid and don't be totally dependent on it because you never know who is most correct.
- The more people who use it and submit forms, the more correct it will be.
- Design it to be idiot proof.
- feel free PM me if you have questions... this post might be a little vague. But I think this method (or a variation of it) would work the best!
