Access Code

MongoDB Setup

The MongoDB Connection URL is for your database. Your connection URL should look like "mongodb+srv://<username>:<password>&<clusterurl>/myFirstDatabase?retryWrites=true&w=majority". For more detailed instructions on how to find this for your specific database deployment, read the Quickstart Guide linked in the README.

TheBlueAlliance Setup

SPOT uses TheBlueAlliance to help load in matches automatically. For SPOT to function correctly you need a TheBlueAlliance API Key and event-specific Event Key.

To obtain an API key, visit their site, navigate to the "account" page under "more" in the navbar. Login if you have to, then under the "Read API Keys" section, add a new API Key. Copy that key and paste it into the box below.

FIRST Robotics Setup

SPOT can optionally use the FRC API to get information that doesn't show up on TheBlueAlliance, like practice matches. To obtain an api key and username, visit their API Registration, and enter the data they ask from you. Once you finish, check your email for the username and key (you'll need them both), and enter them below.

Google Sign-In Setup (Coming Soon, optional)

Google Sign-In is not currently a functioning part of SPOT, but it will be in the near future.

Event Setup

Next, you need to find the Event Key for your competition. Using TheBlueAlliance's search box, find your event. Make sure the year is correct, or else the matches displayed in your admin view won't match the schedule. In your browser's address bar, copy the Event Key, the text following "/event/", and paste it into the box below.

The event code is a unique identifier for your event. It is used to store and retrieve data specific to this event. If you would like to use a previously used event code, select it in the dropdown. If you would like to generate a new one, press the generate button and type in the label for this set of data (e.g., "official", "practice", "debugging"). The event code will be the current TBA event key combined with the specified label. Your TBA event key MUST match the selected code from the dropdown menu for it to work.

TheBlueAlliance OPR Strings

Add one OPR key per textbox. Press "Add OPR String" to add another textbox. These values will be saved as a JSON object like {"string_1":"minorFoulCount","string_2":"majorFoulCount"} in the setup config.Below is the list of all the OPR keys available on TheBlueAlliance. You can choose any of these, but make sure to type them in exactly as they appear on the site, or else SPOT won't be able to find the data you're looking for. We already have some default OPR keys inputted for you, but feel free to change them as you see fit.
