Exciting New Features for the (free) Robo Stats App

Some of you (200+ users) are already familiar with Robo Stats, a free app for VEX enthusiasts (VRC and IQ). This past season, I’ve observed many needs during competitions and used this feedback to add a plethora of new features. Robo Stats is the ultimate tool for VEX robotics enthusiasts. This comprehensive app offers an extensive suite of tools to track performance, scout teams, rank using advanced TrueSkill algorithms, follow your favorite teams, and much more.

Access Robo Stats:

  • Web: Visit robotstatistics.com
  • Mobile: Search “Robot Stats” in Google Play and the App Store to download the app.

Key Features:

  • Advanced TrueSkill Ranking: Robo Stats includes a built-in TrueSkill ranking system for both VRC and IQ, along with a list of top-awarded teams for each season. Additionally, teams can be ranked by Competitive Consistency and Variability Metric (CCVM) and Win Percentage, providing a comprehensive view of team performance.
  • Detailed Event Reports: Gain insights into your event performance with detailed analytics and AI-powered reports. These reports provide all the data you need to excel and include a narrative summary of the event that can be received via email, offering a thorough and personalized overview of your performance.
  • Match Predictor: Utilize TrueSkill data to predict match outcomes directly from your matches list. This feature is also available as a standalone tool in the VRC menu, allowing you to strategize effectively by anticipating potential results.
  • Integrated Scouting: Create and manage scouting lists directly from the event ranking list. With centrally updated data, multiple team members can scout simultaneously. You can add top preferences and notes to streamline your scouting process, ensuring your team is always prepared.
  • Score Calculator and Timer: Save and analyze your practice runs with a built-in score calculator and timer. Calculated custom metrics are available for each season to better understand and improve your performance. This tool is invaluable for preparing for competitions and tracking your progress over time.
  • Match List for Each Event: View your matches, all matches, or matches for a particular team. This feature provides a comprehensive overview of all matches, making it easier to track and prepare for upcoming competitions.
  • Simplified Event Finder: Easily find events in your region, signature events, and add events to your favorites. This feature helps you stay updated on important events and ensures you never miss out on key competitions.
  • Enhanced Team Search: Easily find teams, including searching by name or partial name. This feature simplifies the process of locating and following teams, ensuring you can quickly access the information you need.
  • Easily Access Team Stats: Quickly access a team’s relevant stats from anywhere by tapping the team name. This provides instant access to important information without any hassle.
  • Team Profiles: Teams can add more information to their profiles to share, including their social media accounts for potential followers. This feature allows teams to showcase their achievements and stay connected with their audience.
  • Quickly Add Friends: Bring your friends into the Robo Stats app by asking them to scan a QR code or enter their email. This makes it easy to expand your network and collaborate with others in the VEX robotics community.
  • Daily Data Synchronization: The app data is synchronized daily using the robotevents.com API. Note that skills results are brought in one day behind to ensure accuracy and completeness of the data.
  • Advanced Feedback Feature: The app includes an advanced built-in feedback feature that can be easily accessed from the rightmost button on the bottom menu. Your feedback helps us continuously improve the app to better serve your needs.

I will monitor this post for questions as time permits and encourage everyone to use the built-in feedback button in the app.

I forgot to mention, I’ve made a Youtube Playlist with some tutorials on how to use the app:

Do you mind elaborating a bit on this?

I assume that is only for V5RC?

Overall seems like a great app and I will definitely be downloading it!

The match predictor is only for V5RC, as TrueSkill prediction works on predicting win/loss/tie, not actual scores. TrueSkill ranking is implemented for IQ as well by mapping scores compared to world average scores at the time of the match into wins, ties, and losses. It is the best that can be done for IQ, due to the cooperative nature of the competition.

Regarding Event Reports, it’s probably easier to see than describe. Essentially, numerous metrics are calculated after each competition, both for the overall event and your team specifically (e.g., averages, maximums, standard deviations, win/loss ratios, win point efficiency, auton, etc.). This data as well as raw match data is then sent to an AI agent to interpret, analyze, and categorize it into sections like offense, defense, skills, overall performance, and areas for improvement. This serves as a starting point for your own evaluation of your competition performance.

I’ve attached one screenshot for reference, since it doesn’t let me attach more. There is way more information on the screen than what it shows (scrolllable), but I highly recommend trying it out yourself by generating an event report from a past competition.

Awesome!. Will try it out!
If you don’t mind me asking, how often are trueskill rankings updated? Is it weekly, or how does it work?

TrueSkill rankings are automatically updated every night between 8 and 9 UTC (4 to 5 EST).
In the app, when you open the main menu from the top right, there is a menu item called “Data Update Schedule” that describes the daily data update timeline.

What source are you using to find skills scores from China? Also, when I click to view top HS V5RC skills scores for high stakes, the page is stuck in an endless buffering state Robot Statistics - VEX Stats Source

Hi,

I am using robot events API data. Each night I process events completed more than a day before and get all skill run data for that event. Depending on the time zone skill data should be 24-48 hours behind.

Regarding the second part, It seems I forgot to make the top 200 skills link non - authenticated. That is the reason it buffers. Shouldn’t be like that, I will fix it after August 9th, I am traveling now.

It would probably work if you are logged in and have a home team set.

I will clean it up in two weeks, sorry.
