rescue-run-timer: practice with a real competition clock

Practice runs without a real clock breed bad habits. At a tournament the clock does not stop while you carry the robot back to the last checkpoint. rescue-run-timer, the third tool in our open source series, doesn't either.

What you get

A big terminal countdown (8:00 by default, the standard run time), a lack-of-progress counter on l, a checkpoint counter on c, and a timestamp marker on n for anything you want to review later. When the run ends, the whole timeline is appended to a plain-text log: when the LoPs happened, how long the evacuation zone took, everything.

Install

pip install git+https://github.com/WashingMachineRobocupJR/rescue-run-timer
rescue-run-timer               # standard 8:00
rescue-run-timer --minutes 5   # shorter drills

Together with pid-scope and rescue-line-scorer this completes our practice toolkit. All three are MIT licensed on our GitHub: use them, break them, send patches.
