Robotics Explorer

Robotics Explorer is an Android app to display various pieces of data from FIRST Robotics Competition events using The Blue Alliance's Read API. It is primarily written in Java.

It is in no way complete or a replacement for the official TBA mobile app, as this was entirely created for my AP Computer Science Principles performance task.

Anything below this is a relic from my actual submission

Notes/disclaimers

Robotics Explorer is Powered by The Blue Alliance, and builds upon TBA APIs to fetch the data displayed in the app.
However, Robotics Explorer is not affiliated with TBA in any way. Robotics Explorer is also not affiliated with FIRST or the FIRST Robotics Competition.
