Re: Wiimote Digital Scouting System
Let's just say it won them the Judge's Award on Friday afternoon
I got a chance to talk to Karen, and the things this system can do just blew me away! It is easily the most organized, informative, simplistic system available. Any teams that showed even a slight interest in trying this should definitely do so! I was told they were going to release it sometime soon, definitely before Championships; Karen is hoping it will get a lot of mileage in Atlanta. Last edited by TheOtherGuy : 22-03-2009 at 22:55. |

Bluetooth is not an issue to field systems, its a very low power system (<30ft range) and is frequency compliant in working with WIFI systems. So the 842 system is IMHO fine to use at competitions. The way I read the GDC comments are that they are more concerned about phones that have wifi, I have a newer IPhone and it has wifi, leave the wifi off in phones at competitions. The new robot radio system is being characterized for the first time in the field environments this year. There was no other way to test other than just throw it out there. We were trying to reduce the varibles as much as possible. The system is working beyond expectations, there are some issues still with teams that don't understand RF principals, but those will be worked out eventually though shared information outlets such as CD. And I've mentioned this before, the field uses BOTH 2.4 and 5 GHz radios. 5 GHz is dedicated to the robots. THX ![]() |

Also, you can copy data from any of the datatables. Just click and drag over it with your mouse and copy it using ctrl-c then paste it into a text file and open it in Excel. |

Too bad other teams didn't use this, Sac Regional definitely could improve on their scouting. I believe we were one of the only teams downloading the OPR data at the end of the qualifying and we were the only one using this program. However what information we gathered we tried to share with other teams and they all said this system was a really good idea. |

Re: Wiimote Digital Scouting System
Wiimotes work great until they run out of batteries. They also have the benefit that you get timing data in addition to plain numerical.

Re: Wiimote Digital Scouting System
Thanks for the link Joe, that's a sensible answer from the GDC
