If you don't want to eternally debug a mess of JS & Python with C++ dependencies for some reason, I would reccomend looking at the rewrite of this: https://github.com/Team4388/ScoutingApp2025

Python is better for statistics, and that's what we need to be in the scouting app.

Usage

Installing

Initialization

  • go to: http://localhost:4388
  • To init a match, you must go to the 'TBA' tab and select the correct year, and event.
  • Then click 'Save Matches'. This will create a file at 'data/[event code]/matches.jsonpack'. This file is used to provides a list of matches and teams to the scouters.
  • In an actual match, this file should be shared around to the other match scouters and pit scouters. Either using the 'Send' tab, or by USB.
  • Everyone should click on the 2nd field in the top-right, and select the new event.
  • Also, everyone should click the 3rd feild in the top-right and enter their actual name.
  • Match scouters should click the first field in the top-right and select their position
  • Match scouters should go to the 'scouting / Match scouting' tabs
  • Pit scouters should go to the 'scouting / Pit scouting' tabs

Data usage

  • After all the matches and pits have been scouted, everyone should transfer their data to one device ( the device used by the team leader when choosing alliances ).
  • This is most likely easiest done with USB drives, because of the large file size.
  • The 'Data / Dashboard' Tab is used to display what matches & pits have been scouted.
  • The 'Data / Leaderboard' Tab is used to display what teams have the highest stats ( and who should be recruited )
  • By clicking on a team, you can see what notes the scouters have taken on them.
  • The 'Data / Predictor' Tab is used to predict the outcome of a match, using multiple statistics.
  • The 'Data / Selector' Tab is used to find the best machups avalible. ( This is buggy, and the avalible matchups should be visable to team leader, via the screens )

Fakescout

  • The 'fakescout.py' script is useful for generating data to test from TBA
