FRCdle Again

Devlog #10

THE STATBOTICS API IS BACK UP AGAIN (we’re so back). This means I can finally polish up FRCdle again.

Big Improvement

I finally got to implement Supabase into FRCdle just like I said I would do for a while now. I’d say this makes FRCdle more fault tolerant since Supabase acts as a backup for whenever either the Blue Alliance or Statbotics API is down (or both). Essentially what I’ve done is have the user fetch data from the two APIs whenever they want area and/or team data. If one or both of these requests fail, the request(s) will fall back to the Supabase backup where a version of the data is stored. This data updates every six hours only when a user actually requests for it. This has proven to be very beneficial as large area requests such as the request for all FRC team data or regional FRC team data tend to bounce back with API error codes.

What about FRC Clicker?

There’s not much to say about this for this devlog. I added a few more upgrades and items, but that’s really it.

Next Steps

• Finish up FRC Clicker
  • Get the last items done
    • Get their corresponding one-time upgrades done
