About Tactical Panda
Free web tools for people who organize FIRST Robotics events (FIRST Tech Challenge, FIRST Robotics Competition and FIRST LEGO League): button maker, pit signs, judging and match schedules, shared event management and volunteer check-in.
Who runs Tactical Panda
Tactical Panda is an independent, non-commercial project run by an individual volunteer in the Great State of Texas, United States. It is not a company and is not affiliated with FIRST®.
Running an event on Tactical Panda is free, with no seat limits and no advertising.
What Tactical Panda is for
The stand-alone tools - team role buttons, pit signs, the FTC judging interview schedule and the FLL Schedule Builder (beta) - need no account at all. A free account only adds saving FLL schedules to open on any device.
An event team can create a free account for one shared workspace per event: match and judging schedules (with a public read-only link when published), emcee run-of-show scripts, a staffing plan and volunteer check-in, including a kiosk mode that keeps working when the venue wifi does not.
How Tactical Panda treats event data
Event data belongs to each event and is visible only to that event’s members, according to their role. Volunteer contact details are never stored: they are turned into a one-way, event-specific fingerprint, and volunteer rosters are deleted on the retention schedule described in the Privacy Policy.
Tactical Panda does not use analytics, advertising or tracking.
