Designed for ultimate field monitoring and robot troubleshooting efficiency, the FTA Helper is your indispensable companion for a seamless event experience. Drawing inspiration from the FTA Buddy crafted by Ken Schenke, this app elevates and refines numerous aspects of the FTA's functionalities.
Field Monitor:
- Mobile-optimized UI, ensuring seamless operation on the go.
- Powered by a Chrome extension that runs on the FTA laptop, it scrapes data directly from the field monitor. This mechanism allows the opening of multiple field monitors without the risks of causing FMS instabilities.
Flashcards:
- Designed to bridge communication gaps, these flashcards enable effective interaction with teams through the driver station glass.
References:
- A reference page to understand various status lights associated with robot hardware such as the radio, roboRIO, and motor controllers.
Team Notes Section:
- An organized space to make specific notes for each team at the event.
- Collaborative efficiency as any notes recorded are automatically synced across all field staff members using the app during the event.
Whether you're a veteran FTA or just starting, the FTA Helper app promises a streamlined, coherent, and team-centric event experience. Embrace the future of field technical assistance tools and amplify your event management expertise!
