IBM Bluemix

I was browsing through wpilib screenstepslive and stumbled across a page about Bluemix. It includes a free account, but what applications would this have in FRC?

Bluemix touches IBM Watson, and while not practical (like the rest of Bluemix) for on robot processes and jobs, you could do some pretty cool stuff for off robot software like part fab management, scouting, project planning, time management, etc. The rest of Bluemix is probably not too interesting for FRC.

So no robot applications? Thanks anyways

For those interested, this is the article he is referencing: http://wpilib.screenstepslive.com/s/4485/m/63630/l/677030-ibm-bluemix

Perhaps no immediate use for your robot, but it likely opens up some interesting possibilities for scouting apps.
