Features

Run the season

• Dashboard — team health at a glance: attendance, tasks, budget, upcoming events, and Bruno's briefing on what matters today
• Tasks — Kanban board with assignments, due dates, and priorities
• Calendar — shared team calendar: meetings, competitions, deadlines
• Attendance — session tracking with QR check-in
• Communication — a real log with email-style reply threads, inbound/outbound tracking, and Bruno-assisted email import
• Messaging — team channels with mentions and threads
• Members & Roles — roster with granular role-based permissions

Build the robot

• CAD & Code — model viewer and robot code management tied to the team
• Inventory — parts tracking with low-stock alerts
• Budget — income/expense tracking with a running balance

Compete

• Team Stats — scouting that works: live event data, OPR breakdowns (auto / teleop / endgame), and alliance scenario planning
• Predict (beta) — advancement forecasting, not guessing: EPA-style ratings carried across events with time decay, head-to-head win probabilities and expected scores, Monte Carlo event simulation (quals, alliance selection, playoffs), calibration-tuned on 2024–25 and tested on 2025–26 with strict temporal splits, plus team-specific award priors. See docs/predict/ for the full methodology and back-test reports

Ask Bruno

• Bruno — your FTC coach. An AI assistant that lives in the app, not in a separate tab. Ask it build questions, have it write Java for your OpModes, or let it take action directly: log emails, create tasks, schedule events. It knows what page you're on and suggests what it can do there
• Voice channels — open team voice rooms anyone can join
• Outreach — log service hours and events
• Owner portal — usage, AI controls, and feature flags

Quick start

npm install
npm run dev

Open http://localhost:3000. Create the admin account on the login screen — you're up and running with a local SQLite database.

Configuration

Copy the essentials into a .env file:

# Database — embedded SQLite file by default. Production uses Turso:
# DATABASE_URL="libsql://your-db.turso.io"
# DATABASE_AUTH_TOKEN="your-turso-auth-token"

# Public URL (used for OAuth callbacks)
# APP_URL="https://tryctrlpoint.org"

# Google OAuth (optional)
# GOOGLE_CLIENT_ID=""
# GOOGLE_CLIENT_SECRET=""

# Discord OAuth (optional)
# DISCORD_CLIENT_ID=""
# DISCORD_CLIENT_SECRET=""

# AI (Bruno) — Gemini for chat, grounded research, and vision; Anthropic as fallback
# GEMINI_API_KEY=""
# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=""
# ANTHROPIC_MODEL="claude-sonnet-5-5"   # optional; this is the default
# ANTHROPIC_EFFORT="low"                # optional: low | medium | high | xhigh | max
# GEMINI_THINKING_LEVEL="low"           # optional: minimal | low | medium | high (unset: the model's default)
# Bruno web checks (prices, stock, fact-checks) use Gemini google_search grounding, or
# Claude's web_search / web_fetch tools when Claude answers. Turn web search on for the
# organization in the Claude Console; if it is off, Claude answers without it.

Google sign-in only works for emails already on the team roster — an admin adds members first, then they link their Google account.

Deploy

Production runs on an Oracle Cloud Always Free VM: nginx → the app on :3000 via systemd, with Turso as the hosted database. Push to main, deploy, restart the service.

Tech

• Frontend: React 19 + TypeScript + Tailwind CSS 4 (Vite), shadcn/ui on Radix primitives
• Backend: Express + WebSocket
• Database: SQLite via @libsql/client — embedded file locally, Turso hosted in production
• AI: Gemini (chat, grounded research, vision) with Anthropic fallback, per-user controls and usage tracking
