## What is FAST?

FAST is a modern scouting and event information application for the FIRST Robotics Competition. It enables all the scouts and strategists on your team to easily access all of your team’s data. Scouted data and match information is transmitted seamlessly from the stands straight to the pit so your team can make actionable decisions about gameplay strategy and alliance selection and, most importantly, win!

Never deal with loads and loads of paper scouting sheets or complex, hard-to-manage custom computer scouting systems ever again. FAST is easy enough for a rookie team to get started with, yet powerful enough to support the data needs of a large, world-class team.

FAST supports easy adding of the event you are attending using The Blue Alliance’s database seamlessly in the background. FAST simply pulls down all event data including team and match information, match scores, match times, and more. All data is presented in a clean and concise manner centering around the teams attending.

FAST puts making actionable decisions for team picking first. Everyone on your team can use their own device to scout teams and matches, update information and notes, and easily visualize stats using informative graphs and team sorting. 

Features:
- Easily maintain a shared repository of your team’s data
- Effortless importing of Events using The Blue Alliance integration
- CSV Exporting
- Stands Scouting
- Pit Scouting
- Syncing of scouted data between all of your team’s scouts so that everyone always has access to the most up to date information
- Custom ordering of teams for top alliance picks
- Recording of Team stats, custom notes, and robot photos
- Alliance Picking mode to mark a team as already picked for an alliance ensuring your team is always picking the best available partners when it comes time to choose alliances (simply swipe left on a team to mark them as picked)

Team Stats and Details Tracked:
- Robot Size and Weight
- Robot Capabilities
- Drive Train
- Programming Language
- OPR
- DPR
- CCWM
- Win-Loss-Tie Record
- Images of team robots
- Climb and Assist Status
- Starting Position and Loaded Game Piece(s)
- Much More

How it works:
- Sign in/up for an account in the app
- Join your team’s scouting team
- Select event to scout
- Scouts in the stands will record details of the matches (usually 6 in the stands for each team competing)
- Scouts on the floor will pit scout all details of the teams attending the event
- All data is synced and visualizable on all team members’ devices

The FRC Advanced Scouting Touchstone (FAST) was developed by FRC Team 4256 The Cyborg Cats.

### 5/5 — Best FRC Scouting App

*2020-03-15, version 3.0.0*

This is a really good app for simple and effective scouting. The developers for this app do a great job updating and keeping it running smoothly for everyone to use. I would definitely recommend this to all frc teams.

### 4/5 — Recovering a lost account

*2020-01-24, version 2.1.2*

Someone on our team made an account on this app a couple years ago and we have lost our account details since then. Is there anyway to recover a lost account? Thanks -team 3926

### 5/5 — Reliable and works like a charm

*2019-03-15, version 2.1.1*

Reliable and updated often, any issues that come up get fixed relatively fast.  We have used it at our regional and have been very glad with the results we received especially when we were able to access data for all scouts on all our devices.  So simple to use that any team can do it.

### 2/5 — iPad version not syncing properly

*2019-03-09, version 2*

We tested this app at a match that we weren’t competing in today with 2 iPhones an iPad.  The iPad is not syncing properly with the phones.   Teams show a value for matches scouted but match data is missing from the iPad preventing graphing and sorting of all teams accurately.  A few teams have data for matches which I presume is the ones entered from the iPad.  The iPhones work well.  Please fix so that we can input with phones and visualize on the iPad.  All other functions are great with this app.  Especially love the sync to blue alliance for match info.  Five stars for iPhone version.

**Developer response:** We're sorry you're having that issue. If you don't mind, could you please contact us at frcfastapp@gmail.com with your team number to allow us to investigate the issue further?

### 5/5 — Question

*2019-02-28, version 1.2*

When will there be the feature to change the email if needed?

**Developer response:** That feature is planned for a future update, however we are unable to provide a timeframe right now. In the meantime, if you need to do this or have any other problems with your account, send us an email at frcfastapp@gmail.com and we'll work with you to fix it.

### 5/5 — Love the app!

*2019-02-15, version 1.2*

I loved using the 2018 version, but I was wondering when you were going to release the 2019 version.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the support! We’re looking at an end of February release for the Deep Space update. We’ve been hard at work on a redesign of the database to make it faster and more adaptable. We believe it will be worth the wait.

### 5/5 — Deep Space

*2019-02-13, version 1.2*

I was wondering when deep space will be available

**Developer response:** It’s coming at the end of February!

### 5/5 — Deep Space

*2019-02-11, version 1.2*

This was a great app and my team was wondering if the Deep Space app will be ready soon. 
Thanks

**Developer response:** Thanks for the support! The Deep Space update is coming at the end of February.

### 5/5 — As the 2018-19 Strategiest for Iron Riders 4180, I already love and recommend this app

*2018-06-12, version 1.2*

I’ve downloaded and thoroughly tested this app and was very pleasantly surprised by it. Cyborg Cats 4256, you folks have really gone above and beyond with this app. It is by far the best scouting I have seen so far, and in all honesty far better than ours. I will definitely be pushing my team use this for Destination Deep Space and really recommend and hope that other teams do as well!
Keep up the good work 4256, 

Best wishes from Seattle and 4180!

### 5/5 — South Florida

*2018-03-30, version 1.1.1*

Will South Florida be updated by tomorrow? Also this app saved our scouting... thank you!!!

## Version history (last 1 release)

### 3.0.0 — 2020-01-29

Version 3 Relaxe Notes: Big Update!
- Personal Accounts: New authentication system that makes use of personal accounts instead of team accounts! From now on every person on your team will have their own account.
- Social Login: Now you can log in to FAST using Sign in with Apple or Google on top of the existing email based authentication.
- Scouting Teams: Because everyone has their own personal account, it is now possible to create "Scouting Teams" that house your team's shared scouted data and to which your scouting team lead can control all access to.
- Dark Mode: I took a trip to the dark side to bring back the best and baddest new dark UI theme that follows with the new iOS 13 dark mode. Now you can remain as stealthy as a ninja at all your competitions.
- iPad Multitasking: FAST now supports Scenes on iPads running iOS 13.0 and up. This means you can open multiple windows of FAST side by side and track your data like never before.
- New Pit Scouting: The old pit scouting view was looking a little dated and ugly, so I decided to spice up this new on with a fresh and more efficient look.
- Lots of bug fixes and improved stability

Hope you enjoy it!
