We scrape the official USFIRST score pages in real-time, so parsing the Twitter data would be just another way of getting at information we already know.
Also, I am not sure how to map “Elimination 20” to “Semifinal 1 Match 2”. The Twitter data seems to use sequential numbers for Elims, which doesn’t work as well as the Qual numbers do.
I made an xsl stylesheet for the xml file, it displays the data from frc.xml pretty fast. It doesn’t look that great, but it shows up on the ipod touch well. It loads faster than frc-spy. I really haven’t done that much web/xml development, so I am sure there are many mistakes, but it works. Once event filtering is in, it should automatically apply to what is displayed using this stylesheet.
For some reason the Traverse City District Competition isn’t being represented in FRC-spy. We have had about 25 minutes of events so far, but none of the results have been posted.
It may have something with TBA not updating the TCDC match listings though…
In the test match that just got sent last night (Sunday) through Twitter to the feed, both are lit up with end scores of 0-0 on each alliance.
Looks like it’s fixed!
Team and Event filtering is now available on FRC-Spy. Check it out, let me know of any weird quirks or additional features you need … I’ve only tested this in Firefox on a Mac.
Highlighting of filtered teams. It is hard to pick out at a glance the teams I chose to filter. If they were bigger, bolder, a different colour, or something like that, that’d be great.
A mini-mode. This way, I could open a browser window, point it at FRC-spy, and have it only take up a little screen real estate. If I shrink the text with ctrl+scroll-wheel, the table stays about the same size.
