The Notepad is where team support notes (tickets) live. FTAs, FTAAs, CSAs, and RIs all use it to track issues during the event - from robot problems to venue concerns.
Navigate to it at ftabuddy.com/notepad or tap Notepad in the bottom nav.
The Notepad has two display modes, toggled with the buttons in the top right:
A chronological list of all notes. Useful for CSAs and support staff monitoring incoming issues. You can filter by:
Feed view is the default for CSA and RI roles.
An overlay of the current match's six stations showing open issues at a glance. Each station cell shows the team number and a badge if they have open notes. Tapping a cell opens the team's notes.
Field view is the default for FTA and FTAA roles.
Your last-used view is remembered between sessions.
