ScoutPro: Team 612's Scouting Application at Atlanta

[psquared]

The size on the CD is 300 mb, the actual size of all the code is and database included is 2.9 mb with the bulk of it being the database size. That is all the stuff I had coded. The installation package and all that good stuff so that it will auto install on your computer and the install settings and whatever ravi and suchit (the other two programmers) made is what brought it up to over 300 mb as they told me.

Since at this present time (doesn't mean forever) we do not want to release the source, the only way you can get it is through the 300 mb installation dowloaded of which you would have to contact us through the email above, or when we are at atlanta and can pass it out.

If ScoutPro is successful and popular we will definately put the source online so that anyteam can get it, especially the teams that are not going to nationals.

We look forward to seeing you there, and if you have any questions, just email ScoutPro@gmail.com

Thanks again.

Wow that looks like a pretty good scouting program, we also have a fairly good scouring program, just curious what type of database is being used?

I was wondering if this would work on Apple's as well as PC.

Wow, looks like a lot of capabilities. If one were to pick up a copy, where would be the best place to do so, from your pit, from your team in the stands, or elsewhere? Also, I didn't notice this addressed any where, but will it be able to support pictures of teams robots?

ScoutPro CD's will be distributed through Team 612's Programming Team. We will try to cover as many teams as possible. If you are interested in ensuring a copy of this valuable resource for your team, email your name and your team number/name to ScoutPro@gmail.com.

An access database is used to store all the data in the current version of ScoutPro, there have been experiments with other kinds (MySQL..most notably) but we decided to go with access.

Apple computers will be supported as long as they have a Java Virtual Machine installed. I know OS X already has java runtime environment as a part of its preloaded package (don't ask me about the other versions of it since I can't remember). Overall, ScoutPro is currently able to support perfectly for Windows, Linux, and Apple. If JRE's are already installed, one can install ScoutPro for the following OS's :

1. Microsoft Windows
2. Sun Solaris SPARC
3. Sun Solaris
4. Linux
5. HP-UX RISC I18N for HP-UX 10.20 for HP-UX 11
6. AIX I18N
7. Apple Mac's
8. There are a few other ones that I won't note here

Now, for the picture/video storage capability, previous versions of ScoutPro (that haven't been officially released to the public) have had this support and we found that this feature was more trouble (especially video's) to get working for Java because it requires a few exterior installations for JRE that is installed by the installer. Future versions of ScoutPro can, and probably will, have this capability restored into the interface.

Hope I answered all of the questions that have been placed up to this point. We will see you all at nationals
