FRC Score Detection

What Is This?

This is a Python program that makes use of the frc-livescore package to gather match information (such as scores, time remaining, match number, etc.) from the scoreboard on FRC livestreams. This will allow us to get live updates on matches and allows us to know when a match finishes before the API officially reports them. It has almost a 100% accuracy in reading scores and remaining time from images thanks to Tesseract.

For example, take the following scene:

This image will give us the following data:

Match: Qualification 16
Remaining: 88
Red: 115
Blue: 113

That's pretty good!
