[FTC]: Scouting Database for all teams

[gdo]

My team uses a microsoft access file that i created to be used to be able to print out information. If any teams are interested I will try to get it online and put a link here. It is actually very easy to use, but not everyone has this software.

All forums posted here, send to my email (patrick.vex@gmail.com), and sent to me as a PM will be included in a final word file, txt file, and a Microsoft Access file that will be posted on my teams website (http://eaglevex.syraweb.org) and links will be provided on this site and on Vexlabs. This is an effort to get some scouting going for all teams in Atlanta.

Another thing, I was thinking that teams who are going to Atlanta, if they are so inclined, could fill out a simple 'form' on the forum here so that scouting can begin for all.

The form


Quote:
TEAM NAME -
TEAM NUMBER -
RING CAPACITY -
SCORE ON SIDE GOAL - y/n
SCORE ON PLATFORM - y/n
SCORE ON SINGLE GOAL - y/n
SCORE ON PAIRED GOAL - y/n
LATCH ONTO GOAL - y/n
AUTONOMOUS - y/n
OVERALL STRATEGY -
OFFENSIVE OR DEFENSE? -
SPEED (1-10) -
MANUVERABILIY (1-10) -
ROBOT DESCRIBTION -
LINK TO PICTURE -

Teams are not requred to fill this form out at all, and if they choose to fill out this form, you can fill out only certain parts of the form.

I think thinking that this would be a good way to start peoples scouting, sort of similar to how FRC teams have a database of all teams on a site with videos, pictures, text, etc.

A week before Atlanta I will post a file here that will include the access file that will have all information that was posted here, and from information we already have on a few teams.

Just an idea to throw out there from Team Unlimited.

I'll start the forms
TEAM NAME - Team Unlimited
TEAM NUMBER - 1
RING CAPACITY - 9 to 10
SCORE ON SIDE GOAL - y
SCORE ON PLATFORM - y
SCORE ON SINGLE GOAL - y
SCORE ON PAIRED GOAL - y
LATCH ONTO GOAL - n (subject to change)
AUTONOMOUS - y
OVERALL STRATEGY - ring scoring
OFFENSIVE OR DEFENSE? - offensive
SPEED (1-10) - 8 (gear shifter gives us high speed and low speed)
MANUVERABILIY (1-10) - 8 (omni wheels allow manuverability, and gear shifter allows us to push but be fast when needed)
ROBOT DESCRIBTION - 4 motor drive, has a gear shifter (5:3 and 3:5), high ring capacity, and score relatively fast

COMMENTS - A small team with a lot of ambition, has a gear shifter

I hope this is the first of many!

NOTE: Unlike the last time i posted this, please only use this thread for the use of posting your teams scouting information. Once again, this is not required by any means, but I was hoping that teams would be willing to give information about there robot.

This information is available FOR ALL TEAMS who wish to check it out, not just my team.

A final document will be posted about 1 weeks before Atlanta, and maybe an updated file once or twice before that is more entries come in. If any updates happen the day before, I will most likely have the databases on a thumb drive that your team can use to copy the information over.
