Vantage is the only app you need at a competition. Schedules, rankings, results and your team's scouting — on the phone, even with Wi-Fi off. SCOUTING THAT SURVIVES THE VENUE Rate a team on threat, scoring, defence, driver and stability in a few taps. Add match notes, star the teams you would pick, and build a pick list that is ready before selection starts. All of it works with no signal. ONE GROUP, ONE SET OF NOTES Share scouting with your whole team instead of merging five spreadsheets nobody opened. Join with a code; the group owner approves who gets in. VANTAGE POINTS A rating built for this competition and published in the open. It estimates the points a team personally adds to an alliance score, measured against the alternatives across a full season: better at predicting matches than Elo, average score or TrueSkill, and far less swayed by who a team happened to be paired with. The method, the numbers, and the columns where it loses are all published at vantage-scout.app/docs. LEADERBOARDS Vantage Points, World Skills and TrueSkill for every ranked team in the world, filtered to your region and grade level. TEAMS AND EVENTS Every rank, score and rating a team has posted this season. Event schedules, rankings and results, division by division. THE RULEBOOK, OFFLINE The full V5RC Override game manual ships inside the app. Search it, tap a rule, land on its page. No connection needed, which is the point — venue wifi is not a plan. AUTONOMOUS PLANNER Draw a route on a real field diagram and export it straight to your code. MATCH ALERTS Fires when the match before yours ends, not on a schedule that has already slipped. SCORE CALCULATOR Work out an Override match score one quadrant at a time, without scrolling. Free. No paid tier, no ads, no analytics, no tracking. No account is needed to use it — signing in adds notifications, shared scouting across your own devices, and getting your data back on a new phone. Vantage is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by VEX Robotics, Innovation First, or the REC Foundation.
