#OpenScout

OpenScout is an Android app that provides an end to end scouting solution for teams competing in the FIRST Robotics competition. It leverages the Free-Tier of Google Firebase to provide a real time connection between scout and drive teams, while providing an easy-to-deploy database so that any team can run their own. The app combines your teams database with The Blue Alliance to organize and present contextually valuable information.

Disclaimer

This app is currently working for the 2017 season.
