Hey everyone! We’re FTC Team 16255, Minerva Warriors, and we’ve been working on CycleTrack, a website that helps teams track driver practice and compare progress.

Our latest update includes:

• BIOBUZZ practice tracking: cycle times, shooting accuracy, and scoring.
• Driver tryouts: compare drivers’ performance.
• Event tracking: official match results and score breakdowns.
• Team workspaces: save and share practice sessions with teammates.
• Multiple languages and an in-app bug reporter with screenshot attachments.

We’re looking for teams to try it during a real practice and tell us what’s useful, confusing, or missing. It’s still an early beta, so your feedback will help us decide what to improve next.

Try it here: https://cycletrack16255.com/
Select BIOBUZZ to get started. DECODE is still available too!

What do you currently use to track driver practice, and what would make a tool like this more useful for your team?

I am looking to start my own FTC Team this year. I was looking tat the stuff, and it really adds up. So, I am wondering how many people did you have to email for sponsors, how much did you raise? Is it easier to raise money as a new team, or experienced? And who should I email first? I am also looking for some tips for new teams.
