Welcome to Bot Breakdown

Inspired by the Arizona Scouting Alliance, our goal is to unify scouters across teams world-wide.

We want anyone to be able to contribute facts about a robot's match - in turn you'll get access to all the data for the events you contribute to.

Any scouter can contribute every bit of data about a bot's performance during a match, or you can just contribute partial data. BotBreakdown will combine all of the complete or partial submissions and average out the values if multiple values are contributed by different people. We'll also add all of the alliance statistics to the final data, provided by The Blue Alliance's API.

Anyone downloading the data will be provided a "Minimum", "Average", and "Maximum" value for each data point, from the submissions. And if you're not online when you submit the data, it'll hold it for you so you can submit it later when you are back online.

This site is a cooperation between teams 9432 8 Bit, and 2486 CocoNuts. Welcome! We're so glad to share this with you!

1. Getting started

  1. Register an account, and then click on "My Events" in the navigation. Once you submit some data, this is where you'll be able to see all of the information for that event.
  2. For now though, click the button and choose the event you are contributing data to.
  3. The form will pre-populate with the teams at the event, and from that moment it'll be available to you even if you go offline.

2. Storing Data

Your data will be stored as a QR code on the device you submit it on. If you're online it'll immediately get stored on our server. If not, you can submit it later OR scan the QR code with a phone or other device that IS connected and that will add the data too!

Storing data offline or online

3. Downloading and Analyzing Data

The analysis is your team's time to shine! You can easily download all the data that anyone has submitted to events on your "My Events" page. Then you can use any tools you'd like to for analysis.

But to get you started, we have a few examples of how to use tools like Excel and PowerBI on our blog -- check it out and see if it gives you ideas!

Latest Update

We are still in beta (currently v0.7) but the major functionality is up and running! We had a light but great inagural event at the July ARL (Arizona Robotics League) event (data here) and followed it up with 9 different scouters participating at the August ARL event (data here). There are a few more months in this offseason that we're looking forward to having primarily Arizona teams use the tool before the 2025 season starts, but we're starting to spread the word beyond Arizona as well.

(Note: at this time the offline availability of the data input page is unreliable. We hope to have that fixed soon. In the meantime, just don't close or navigate away from the page after loading it while online)
