Pit Dash turns your phone or tablet into an always-on competition dashboard for your FRC team's pit. MATCH COUNTDOWN A large countdown timer shows exactly how long until your next match. The timer border tells you where the estimate comes from: green for FRC Nexus real-time data, amber for TBA predictions, grey for the original schedule. When your team is on the field, the timer switches to an elapsed match clock. A small "(late)" or "(early)" tag warns when the field is running off-schedule. QUEUING STATUS When FRC Nexus data is available, banners show your queuing state: QUEUING SOON → NOW QUEUING → ON DECK → ON FIELD. Never miss a queue call again. ALLIANCE VIEW See your alliance partners and opponents with team avatars, rankings, win/loss records, and EPA ratings from Statbotics. Two prediction bars show win probability and total alliance EPA. Tap any team for detailed stats, match history, and awards. Long-press to "peek" at the dashboard from another team's perspective. PIT MAP Tap any team's pit chip to open an interactive pan and zoom pit map centered on that team. Your team's pit pulses to draw your eye. At multi-division events like World Championship, switch between halls with a single tap and toggle sibling divisions on or off. EVENT SCHEDULE The full event schedule with auto-scroll to your current match. Filter by team, hide past matches, and tap any match for a detailed breakdown including the score, Statbotics's pre-match prediction with per-RP probabilities, a YouTube replay link when available, and a timing card listing scheduled, predicted, estimated, and actual start times side by side. TIME TRAVEL Tap the hourglass icon to scrub backward through any moment of the event you've watched live. Replay queuing moments, alliance shifts, and ranking jumps at 1×, 10×, or 60× speed. TABLET LAYOUTS On tablets in landscape, Pit Dash splits into two or three columns so different views stay on screen at the same time. Long-press a team card to route the resulting detail view to a specific column, keeping the timer and alliances in view while you read another team's stats. ROBOT REFERENCE Connect a public Google Spreadsheet and your robot's CAN devices, port mappings, and specs appear automatically. SEASON MODE Between events, see your team's season EPA breakdown, awards collected, and district standings. Tap any past event to revisit its schedule and results. SMART DATA FUSION Pit Dash combines data from The Blue Alliance, FRC Nexus, and Statbotics to always show the most accurate information available, with clear visual indicators of data quality. WORKS OFFLINE All data is cached locally. If event Wi-Fi drops, the app keeps working with the last known data and shows a staleness indicator. Built by FRC Team 2363, Triple Helix. Free for the entire FRC community.
