Gymnastics Competition App

Project Proposal

Project Overview

Right now, judges score gymnasts using pen and paper, and often have to employ assistants to enter scores for them. We would like to improve this process and to have a more efficient and better way of scoring gymnastics moves. We would build a machine using Rasberry Pi to input scores with buttons. Gymnasts now are unable to view feedback from judges and only receive the final score. Therefore, we would collect the information about the score distribution as well as comments from the judges, and upload them to a webpage for gymnasts to view their scores and comments for each move in their routines.

Objectives

1. To create an app that is used in both the scoring and the ranking process in order to speed the processes up as well as reducing mistakes, time, and efforts.
2. To create a machine in order to aid the scoring process of the judges, allowing them to tally up the scores while watching the routines.
3. To create a feedback page for the gymnasts to see the scoring process and view their mistakes, so that they could improve on them next time.

Challenges

• Learn how to write an app
