Scoring breakdowns in robot events data

VEX Robotics Competition Discussion VRC
1

Hello,
I’ve been working on a system that analyzes competition data from robotevents.com (see discussion in general forum). Last year, the csv files on robot events had full scoring breakdowns (aka who won autonomous, #of scoring objects in each position, etc.) but starting at worlds last year this data is no long there. Oddly enough, the empty columns in the csvs for previous years are still there, but there are none for Toss Up. If someone could explain why this is or (ideally) fix it, a lot of teams have taken interest in the program and the scoring breakdowns would be extremely helpful to all the teams who use this program (and similar ones) for scouting.
Thanks!

This has been brought up 2-3 times and is on the feature list for next season. Thanks for taking the time to give us suggestions for improvements.

Sorry for bringing it up again.
If you don’t mind, there are a few other things that would be nice for next season if they are convenient to you (I apologize if some of them have come up before):

  1. Removing the columns in the data files from previous years, they don’t really do much harm, but I am not sure why they are there in the first place.
  2. A csv of all the competitions with the event name, location, date, sku, url, and (if possible) time since last data update. I don’t know how this would be to do, but it would save my server from having to download all the competition csvs every few seconds to check for updates.
  3. A csv with all the awards for each competition.
    I am not trying to give you a lot of work, but if this data is on the servers and easy to publicize, it would save my server a lot of time and drastically reduce the communication between my server and yours.
    Thanks!

With the first events this weekend and release of tournament manager, I see know signs of the live updating yet, although it looks as though another TM update may be coming as VEX U and IQ have not been included yet. Are the scoring breakdowns coming this year, and if so would it be possible to get a sample file so I (and other teams) can work on building analysis programs? I am not in any hurry, but I having the data will be extremely helpful for Skyrise so teams can build an ideal alliance.
Thanks, any information would be greatly appreciated!
