Team 102 - The Gearheads is spreading the word about Scoutradioz™, a FREE FRC Scouting-as-a-service web app that helps enable teams to gather their own customizable intel at competitions.
As of January 2024, we are officially out of the “early access mode” and (currently) have onboarded 118 teams across 31 U.S. states as well as from Canada, Mexico, Brazil, Turkey, and Israel.

Key Points
Initially created in 2018, Scoutradioz (hosted on Amazon Web Services) has continued evolving. Here is a list of some of the features the service offers:
- Scouting-as-a-Service - Use students’ mobile devices; no need to buy tablets, install software, run cables, etc. Each team gets their own free customizable “instance” of the app based in the cloud.
- Built-in charts and analytics - Quickly visualize comparative per-robot data before matches, as well as while tracking alliance selection (and all your data can be exported to CSV)
- Event management tools such as auditing match assignments, swapping scouters in and out, and managing lists of members
- Automatically get live match results and ranking updates (via The Blue Alliance API)
- Lightweight and responsive web app optimized for mobile devices while usable in tablets and desktop browsers
- Match Predictions - Scoutradioz, using the data you provide, has predicted match outcomes with a success rate of 80%-85% (for the matches where the prediction confidence was 60% or more)
- Scouting Accuracy - Scoutradioz compares each scout’s data to the FIRST match data, measuring individual scouter accuracy and helping leads identify which (if any) scouts need extra assistance
2024 Updates
- As an update from our post last year, Scoutradioz Voyager will be available to the public on February 10th. Voyager offers an Offline-mode (alpha-tested at an offseason competition in the Fall) where scouts can get assignments & combine data via QR codes, which removes the need for constant data connection.
- Scoutradioz has been translated into Mexican Spanish
, French 
, Hebrew 
(including right-to-left support), Brazilian Portuguese 
, Turkish 
, and Simplified and Traditional Chinese 
.
- Additionally, there are many languages in progress, including Khmer, Norwegian Bokmål, Ukrainian, and Vietnamese if anyone is interested in helping with one of these languages or a completely different language, please let us know!
