Modification of Record model to support pre-scouting. #18

Closed rye closed 10 years ago

rye commented 10 years ago

Currently there's not really a model for pre-scouting. I'd like to suggest that we change the Record model to support pre-scouting.

I think that all that needs to get done is we should not require match_number or match_id to be present and instead enable the use of a recordType dynamic attribute that would always get set. If recordType were present and equal to match, we would throw an error unless match_number were present. If it were equal to prescout, we would ignore that and just create the record without a match_id.

Alternatively, we could create a new model for storage of prescouting data, or associate it with teams. If we associate it with teams, however, we'll need to overwrite existing pre-scouting data as new information is obtained, which would prevent having multiple records of pre-scouting data for redundancy and comparison.

Also, we need to add support for images. We can upload images and store them on the server, but we need to implement that.

I like that idea. If we use it, I would like to enact a name field so that there is a convention for robots that have names.

That's fine.

Sammidysam commented 10 years ago

Okay, I will add this model eventually. If anybody does not like Robot being the name of the model, please speak up.

Sammidysam commented 10 years ago

Participations now exist again.

rye commented 10 years ago

Operating under the assumption that robots are the only thing that we will want to pre-scout (both now and in the future), that model name is acceptable. I recommend that we close this issue since discussion has shifted from "Modification of Record model to support pre-scouting." (And, if necessary, create a new one for the Robot model discussion, though that's not the point of issues [ahh, Gitter ;)]).

Sammidysam commented 10 years ago

I was going to close it once the Robot model is made (it is currently next up in my Robotics to-do list).

rye commented 10 years ago

Has any progress been made on this?

Sammidysam commented 10 years ago

Nope. Making the Robot model is really easy though since I don't think it has any special properties to account for.
