Devlog #3
In the past few days I have been working on adding a battery tracker because I believe that it has the potential to be very helpful to FRC teams. Tracking batteries is always a pain for my team, and other teams I’ve connected with can probably agree with that statement. Batteries can randomly fail by not charging or just full-on dying in two minutes. Although one might assume that keeping track of all this is easy, it truly is not. Having a system to hold records and data, I believe, can be very helpful to teams!
I’ve added the third tool to the app: a shared battery tracker where a team can log in with a team number and passcode, add batteries, and mark each one as charging, in use, or available. It also lets you flag a battery as weak or unreliable with a note, so if a battery dies mid-match, the whole team can see that history the next time they’re deciding which one to grab. I even added an option for the AI to recommend which battery to use next based on how long it’s been charged and whether it’s been flagged before.
My new challenge for this tool has been working with MongoDB. It stores the data fine, but it wasn’t letting me log in (it kept throwing an error). What confused me more is that when I ran it in Flutter web, it worked just fine. This is what I plan to work on for the next few days.
To fix my last problem, which was with the AI saying it had spikes in usage, I changed the message to ask the user to try again because it usually works on the try right after. Right now, this is just a temporary solution until I can find a new AI model.
List of things to work on:

• Low MongoDB storage for free account
• Report button on the UI needs to feed into the AI
• Find permanant solution for the AI usage
• Connenction to MongoDB working for flutter web but not github?
• Photo to video (that way it can help you find the right orientation for the AI to scan with the best feedback possible)

P.S. My logged time is glitching out a bunch and I would love if someone could help me in the #stardance-help on slack.
