An android mobile app designed to help highschool robotics teams in the 2017 international "FIRST Robotics Competition".
Description
My highschool robotics team regularly analyzed our matches against other highschools with pencil and paper. This helped us see our weaknesses, and make informed decisions while choosing teams with other highschools. However, this was very disorganized because we often handled hundreds of papers, so I digitized and improved the notetaking process.
Organized By Game Stages
Each stage of the game is organized on its own screen for increased readability and detailed information gathering.
Used Animation To Communicate Information
After asking my teammates, I learned a key component of a robot's success in the 2017 FIRST Robotics Competition was its firing rate and accuracy. However, the team never recorded those on paper because they couldn't do it reliably. With my mobile app and simple motion graphics, it was more intuitive to visualize firing rate and be able to compare it to the firing rate of robots on the field.
