Why we made this

We're Alphire, FTC team 26456. For most of our practice time we used a phone stopwatch and a whiteboard. The whiteboard got wiped, nobody remembered which run was the good one, and we never had the match sounds.

Working out ranking points and flower ownership by hand in the middle of a run was also a mess, so we wrote a tool to do it for us.

It worked well enough that we cleaned it up and put it online for other teams. It's still a team project, so if something is broken, tell us.

What's in it

Arena scoreboard

Built to look like the FTCLive display. It runs the auto, transition, teleop and endgame periods and plays the official sounds. You can set up 2v2, 1v1, 1v0 or 3v0 practice, and race a ghost score if you want a target.

Phone scorer

Scan the QR code or type the PIN and a phone or tablet becomes the scorer. Tap to add a hive tip, log fouls, and fill in the post-match check for robots, cells, flowers and cards.

OPR and practice stats

Works out OPR for 2v2 scrimmages, and for solo practice shows your average, how consistent your cycles are and how often auto works. It also shows how close you were to each ranking point.

Drills and training log

A 60 second hive tip sprint, a 30 second endgame park drill and a field reset checklist. You can also log any practice session by hand, and export your matches as CSV, JSON or a printable sheet for your notebook.
