Pre-scouting app is a way to pre-scout for FRC events. It uses pre compiled data from APIs like The Blue Alliance and Statbotics, and you and your team’s your own, team-specific, data, all in one app.
This looks very interesting. I am currently looking into downloading the local dev version, which mentions the use of a postgreSQL database. My team does not currently use a postgreSQL database, and we are not familiar with the SQL language. In light of this, is it possible to use another database? For reference’s sake, the database we use is mongoDB.
Unfortunately, you cannot use any other database other than PostgreSQL without modifying the code. To get a local dev environment set up, you must set up a PostgreSQL database and connect it to the Next.js server (by entering your database’s url into the env file). This requires no SQL experience to set up or maintain because, one of the tools I use, Prisma does all the work of setting the database up and interacting with it.
This is really cool! We’re using it for one of our upcoming off-season events, I just have one question is there any plan to add a feeding column to teleop actions when scouting a video in the app? Right now it just has Speaker & Amp scores and it can make a feeder team look really weak in the scouting data.
