Introduction

What up!

My name is Coda, and I'm the developer of SpartanTime, A fork of GrizzlyTime.

(OG info about GrizzlyTime below) GrizzlyTime originally started out as my junior year side project to have this sort of automatic sign in system, because our paper system is, quite frankly, useless. So a prototype was developed using a Raspberry Pi3, 3D printed box, and a camera. While the initial system (code is available in my repositories list) worked, it was very slow, prone to errors, and wasn't easy to setup. I wanted a system that could grow and still be used without my needing to be there. So I started developing GrizzlyTime-JavaFX. GUI applications were so new to me at the time and GrizzlyTime was such a welcome experiment. It started off as a buggy, 1990s-esque design and matured into something multiple FRC teams are using.

What is SpartanTime?

SpartanTime can:

Cook your dinner Do your homework Hack your car Evolve into a growlith SpartanTime totally doesn't:

What is FRC

FRC stands for First Robotics Competition. FRC is a global robotics competition where a new "game" is announced every year, and teams are given six weeks to design and build a robot weighing ~120 pounds. That robot then competes in competitions with teams ("alliances") against other alliances. FIRST (For Inspiration and Recognition of Science and Technology) organized these events in the hopes of getting youth more involved in STEM-related fields.
