Questions

[JohnsonAnne07]

I've been poking around, and I have a couple questions/requests.
Can you change the loading screen? The textured background and metal bits are giving me heart burn. The FIRST logo on a plain blue background would be fine.
What am I supposed to log in with? I've tried to login with my TBA account and it doesn't do anything. I've also logged in with like, gibberish and it works. To be totally honest, I don't really get the point of logging in, unless it's linked to TBA.
Not app related, but where did you get the image of the field? I can't find any good ones.
Last thing - when are the events going to be 2017? The dates are all 2016.
Now, totally unrelated. I'm interested in being the drive coach. When you were driving, what did you want the coach to do? What were you looking for?

Thanks!

Hi!
Thanks for your post in the issues thread!

To answer your questions:

1. I will not be using the FIRST logo in my app in order to protect myself and future progress of the app. You can read the FIRST policy on usage of Trademarks and Copyrighted Materials here - Maybe you should take some antacid!
2. There is no necessary login information. During my presentation Mary Jean asked the same thing, and my response was that for future development versions of the app, you will be able to log in to a team account and share data through a cloud service. The login screen will most likely be removed in my first release to the app store/google play.
3. I (slightly) modified the one that was included in the 'Arena' section of the game manual. The only thing I did was remove where the 'Gate' boxes where (I assume this in compliance within FIRST property usage).
4. I will send you a private email detailing that.

In other news, I'm working on a way to have you guys be able to download the app without my having to install it for you guys. My current method works, and now I just need to figure it out for iOS devices. Once I have that figured out I will make an official alpha release for my alpha testers. Sorry for the delay! I plan on adding more features/cleanup as well.
