I wrote a program that runs on laptops/desktops that can calculate the scores for the VEX Tower Takeover Competition. here is a link to the Github:

Hope you all enjoy!!

No screenshots?
It would be nice to see the program in action without having to actually download and run it.

Can you make one for mobile devices? I like the idea, but I’ve found that most teams use mobile devices to score, in order to more quickly move around the field.
There is already one - search for “VRC Hub” in the iOS App Store or the google play store.

Neat - we have a google sheets calculator that has developed - the graphical interface helps and also “scoring scenarios” might be a good addition to your java app
In our club discussions about the nature of this game it became apparent that drive teams will need to do a lot of calculations to make decisions in the last 30 seconds of the game to decide next moves in terms of placing cubes in towers. So I cranked out a quick google sheet to show the impact of adding a cube of a particular color. It is help to decide which color cube is most impactful in terms win/loss, but the point spread.
Are there other scenarios to be considered?
Take a look:

I’d like to see this on the v5 brain.

well that’s a bit tough when your robot is busy scoring the cubes

Perhaps a scoring system which uses a secondary controller to score.
There is an app called VRC hub which includes something similar to this with some graphics as well as the game manual.

I have seen, and I do use this when on my phone. However, one of my friends is unable to use their phone for the scoring, so that is part of why I made this.

but in Python!
I would absolutely LOVE to see how this looks/compiles when you get it finished.
