VEX TM Mobile

Got to use this for the first time and while the referee liked having it, it was not without its quirks. 1. I had it installed on a tablet running 4.4, but it doesn't scale well, causing the save and cancel buttons to sit over part of the scoring blocks making them unusable. We switched to the numerical entry method and made it work. 2. The grades submitted from the device are not official in the system till approved by the field operator, not a big deal but doesn't really eliminate any steps. 3. While its specific to the game there is no ability to pull up rules or guides for the game from within the app. Not hard to keep them loaded on the device, but seems like a missed opportunity to easily have all the resources a referee would need while on the field. Really like the idea, just not quite fully baked.

I like this a lot! Great reference and timer. Easy to figure out scores. Could you add the controller handoff sounds to the IQ timer? Thanks!

Now that we've been able to set this up correctly and use it in a couple of events, I am quite pleased with the app. There are still some additional functions I wished it had (Inspection and Check-In, among others), but as it stands this is a great help in running VEX events.

Would love to use it, but have to use 5ghz wifi router. I understand why, but most schools where Vex is played don't support it. Mostly due to we're hardwired. Would have to buy a router and setup ad-hoc. I think bluetooth would be a better choice.
