  1. Walpole Robotics Scouting App Timmy McNamara

  2. Purpose • This app was made for the Walpole High School Robotics Team • Used to compile information about robots in competition with us or against us • Can be used by multiple “scouts” at once to make collecting data as simple and efficient as possible

  3. Data Usage • Used to determine robots that would work well with us on a team or that could pose a serious threat • Allows us to develop strategies with other robots by knowing their strengths and weaknesses throughout the game

  4. App Goals • Designed to be used by someone who knows very little about the game or someone who fully understands the game • Collects Basic Information (Scout Name, Match, Team, etc.), and Game Information(Goals, Trusses, Penalties, Assists, etc.) • Stores information where it can easily be accessed and manipulated by other members of the team

  5. Interface • MIT App Inventor Has a GUI that allows a highly customizable interface • The app has 4 different screens to collect information on the scout and different modes in the game • See Interface On Next Slide

  6. Programming • To program this app MIT App Inventor uses a blocks editor • Buttons were programmed to not only add points when pressed, but to undo what was just done if held down • This “Long-Press” helps fight user error and ensures buttons were not accidentally pressed • See Program Layout On Next Slide

  7. Fusion Tables • After being collected the data was sent to a Google Fusion Table to be processed and rank the competing robots • This Fusion Table could be accessed on computers by other members of the Walpole High School Robots Team • Permissions to upload and edit data are given to scouts which ensures our data will not be tempered with by someone who shouldn’t have access to this data • See Fusion Table On Next Slide

  8. Credits • This is the website we used to design and program the app - http://appinventor.mit.edu/explore/ • Once data was collected it was then sent to a Google Fusion Table - http://www.google.com/drive/apps.html#fusiontables
