Welcome to the QR-Scout (LARS) wiki!

This wiki is still being written

Hello there, welcome to the wiki for the FRC team 334 (Techknights) scouting app. Here you will find documentation on how to use the app as well as documentation on how it was made to replicate a similar app for your team.

What it is

QR-Scout(QRS) (or it's development name, Look A Robot System[LARS]) is a way for teams to communicate data created during scouting sessions. During an FRC match teams use a practice called scouting to collect information about the match for team use, this info can be then used to find viable candidates for alliances. QRS accomplishes the task of data transfer by encoding the data into a QR code (as the name implies). The reason for this odd way of transfer is due to the lack of cellular networks present at most FRC matches. Our team competes at the Jacob Javits center where cellular reception is spotty at best, so the hurdle of scouting communication presented itself. Along with the QRS data encoder and decoder is a web interface to input the data. As stated, the entire process takes place over the web, allowing for cross-device, cross-system compatibility. Anybody can access the QRS.
