dracco1993.github.io/FRCStats/
A website that lists all the matches for a given FRC district at champs.
-
What's with the repo name?
- Well... 5 years ago I started this project with the intention of creating a comprehensive FRC statistics tool, but I quickly realized that I didn't have the time to do that. So, I decided to start small and build a simple tool that would allow me to quickly see the champs matches for a given FRC district. At the time, I was planning on expanding this tool to include more features, but since then, fantastic tools like Statbotics have been released, so it's likely just going to remain a simple champs match listing tool.
-
Code quality?
- It's... not great. I threw together this project 5 years ago, and, compared to now, I had no clue what I was doing back then. I've been meaning to refactor it, but somewhere between "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" and "I just haven't had the time", I haven't. So, if you're looking for a good example of how not to write code, this is it.
-
Update frequency?
- I've been incrementally updating this project over the years, but it's usually the week before champs each year (in 2022 it was literally on a charter bus to champs).
-
Why is it hosted on GitHub Pages?
- It's free, and it's easy. I don't have to worry about hosting, and it's a simple way to get the project out there.
-
Why is it just now being open-sourced?
- I've been meaning to open-source this project for a while now, but I just haven't gotten around to it. As mentioned previously, the code is... not great, but I've had quite a few people ask me about it, so I figured I'd finally get around to it.
FRCStats is powered by The Blue Alliance and FRC Colors using Bootstrap for styling.
The backend is... nonexistent. All the heavy lifting is done on the frontend, which isn't great, I know, but spare dev time is hard to come by, especially during peak FRC season.
If you'd like to contribute, feel free to fork the project and submit a pull request. I'll review it as soon as I can.
If you run into any issues, feel free to open an issue on the repo, or reach out to me on Chief Delphi.
