FIRST Event Data in XML format

[Andrew Schreiber]

Update to this, the corrections I made for Dallas and Connecticut did not work, I will be trying to fix those later tonight.

As a consolation prize I tossed together a quick (read simple and not pretty) page you can grab xml data from using scripts though I would prefer you run the script on your own machines. If you want a one off piece of data feel free to use it.

The page takes a couple of arguments, Event_Code which is the event code used by FIRST, these can be found on frclinks.com. It also takes HTML_Display which is either true or false. A true value will encode the page such that the tags for the xml show up in the browser, otherwise they will not. HTML_Display is optional but without an Event_Code the page will not load anything.

An example is

http://schreiaj.ath.cx/share/FRC_Par...Event_Code=GLR

It will load the Lansing District event to display in the browser. Any questions feel free to ask.

I will be making the updated script available as soon as possible. Sorry about that.

EDIT: The Championship divisions rankings do work, FRClinks has the wrong code for them, it is the full name of the division. ie, Newton is Newton.
