To set the record straight, I haven't even downloaded the STAMP software, let alone looked at its source, so any code similarities are purely coincidental.

Thats not what I meant. I mean it will be interesting to see how we both accompished the same tasks with different code.

Please refer to the now edited post:

[EDIT]This post seems to have been misinterpreted. I did not mean to imply that any code had been copied. If that is what I had meant I would have come right out and said it. I really did mean exactly what I said no strings attached, I look forward to seeing the code. I want to see how both our development seams accomplished such similar outputs in different ways.

You can be sure that if I think there is foul play in anything, this is not confined to scouting, not confined to FIRST, but to life in general, I will be the upmost candid about it.[/EDIT]

Just to set this record straight I am truly happy that FSN is about ready to make a release. I am happy that their will be more options out there to all our scouts, and therefore more "custom fits" if you will.

On another note, some of the things I was hopeing to get SSs of:

# Match Statistics - Averages, minimums, and maximums about every possible match statistic including center goal scores, side goal scores, penalty points, and more.
# PowerPrediction™ - Using generated statistics, the likelihood of a robot to be able to win a match will be available after the first couple of matches. Results are derived solely from Statistics.
# Robot Photo Gallery - Shows pictures of robots allowing scouts to be able to assess a robot's strengths and weaknesses themselves before they play against a team.
# FSNPerspectives™ - Provides between 1-4 alternate match perspectives, focusing on an overall view of the field and an actioncam, highlighting the most exciting parts of the match.
