Last year, we introduced The Purple Warehouse, FRC’s first-ever collaborative scouting app and analyzer where teams could scout, share, and access data alongside other teams at every competition. We were absolutely Charged Up 
that so many of you joined us in scouting together (140+ teams worked together to contribute thousands of scouting entries)! By scouting collaboratively, we were able to give access to rich scouting data and insightful analysis to teams who otherwise would not be able to scout as much. Due to the large size of our data lake, we were also able to implement an accuracy score for each scouting entry, enabling better strategy and analysis tools.
After kickoff, we released an updated version of our scouting interface for Crescendo to our scouting community in under 24 hours, and we can’t wait for you to Harmonize 
your data with us! A prototype version is live at thepurplewarehouse.com so that we can get your input and feedback before competitions start (join our Discord server to get an access token for your team and to share your suggestions with us).
Last season we also implemented basic gamification with Nuts, Bolts, and XP awarded to scouters based on both the quantity and accuracy of their scouted matches. This year, we’re building a fun rewards system for scouters to use their hard-earned in-app currency for customizations and minigames between matches (we’ll share more information about these features once they are released).
Here’s a selection of photos from our 2024 scouting interface and our 2023 analysis tools:
We look forward to scouting alongside you at competitions this year!
