Robot Scouter Blurb

So this app is our teams response to a frequent problem that we've seen arise for apps in the past. The features of Robot Scouter addresses some of the issues or shortcomings we've had with using other teams scouting apps in the past. We've been developing this app since June and we really hope you check it out and enjoy using it as much as we have at the past two competitions.

Direct Google Play Store download!

Features:

• Seasonal updates: Apps wouldn't update by season. Our app updates automatically based on the season, eliminating the need for a new app every year.

• No setup required

• Easy sharing between users

• Seamless collaboration: multiple people can scout the same team, different teams, or go solo on Android N and use split screen mode to scout several teams at once.

• Customizable scouting templates with several different metrics to choose from: header/title

  • true/false (checkbox)
  • stopwatch (for keeping track of cycle time)
  • number (counter)
  • list (item selector)
  • text (notes)

• Integration with The Blue Alliance to automatically populate relevant team info

• Export scouting data to a spreadsheet with pre-computed averages and statistics

• And more!

Hey! Former scouting lead for team 2521 here. 2020 was my last season so I haven't thought much about scouting next year. The pandemic will definitely throw "normalcy" out from most competitions and I definitely don't envy your job. I think there have been some great suggestions already and I'll try to add my own team's experience to the mix.

Our team also used tablets to scout but we had an app that synced data over wifi. The app is called Robot Scouter and it's worked really well for us in the 3 years we've used it. I'd highly recommend it if you're looking for an app that can work even when all the scouting tablets are far away from each other.

As for managing who scouts what team over the internet, maybe you could download the match schedule ahead of time into a Google Sheets? You could then assign one person to each team playing in the match.

Please feel free to lemme know if you want more info about our scouting process and/or the app we use! Hope you and your team have been staying safe and healthy. And best of luck next year!

I disagree. I've built Robot Scouter which is year independent for the 2016 season. Seems like I was first! �� Also, it's open source and free: https://github.com/SUPERCILEX/Robot-Scouter.
