Hey Guys,
Trying to update our twitter parsing code to get ready for the 2012 competitions, but I cannot seem to find the format anywhere!
Do they normally release it closer to competitions or am I just missing an obvious place to look? Last year I found it in the manual but I don’t know when it was released.
Any help would be appreciated!
Thanks Much.
It seems Mike Linnen has generated some test tweets earlier in the month.
Decode the following tags: TY, MC, RF, BF, RE, BL, RA, BA, RB, BB, RFP, BFP, RHS, BHS, RTS, BTS, BP, RP, CP
I’m sure there will be a finalized key released before events begin.
Most are obvious. Here’s my guess:
TY match Type (P=practice, Q=qualification, E=elimination)
MC MatCh number
RF Red Final score
BF Blue Final score
RA Red Alliance teams
BA Blue Alliance teams
RB Red Balance score
BB Blue Balance score
RFP ?
BFP ?
RHS Red Hybrid Score
BHS Blue Hybrid Score
RTS ?
BTS ?
CP Coopertition Points
RFP may be Red Alliance Final Score with Penalties. RP seems to be Red Alliance Penalties.
There aren’t “penalties” this year. They’re “fouls”. So maybe RFP and BFP are “Red/Blue Foul Points”.
RP and BP were in the oddly-formatted tweet, which lacked CP. I suspect they were going to be “Red/Blue qualification Points”, with the CP folded in, but that doesn’t look like the way it was eventually settled on.
RTS and BTS might be “Red/Blue Teleoperated Score”.
RFP and BFP are almost certainly “Red/Blue Foul Points” as they are always divisible by 3
RB and BB are always divisible by 10, consistent with balancing
CP must be coopertition since since it always 0, 1, or 2
TY match Type (P=practice, Q=qualification, E=elimination)
MC MatCh number
RF Red Final score
BF Blue Final score
RA Red Alliance teams
BA Blue Alliance teams
RB Red Balance score
BB Blue Balance score
RFP Red Foul Points
BFP Blue Foul Points
RHS Red Hybrid Score
BHS Blue Hybrid Score
RTS Red Teleoperated Score
BTS Blue Teleoperated Score
CP Coopertition Points
