For an all-paper system, it's easy enough to have your "binder guy" compile stats for 5 teams on the fly with some paper and a calculator, scribble it down, and run it to the pits. Low tech but it works.

Thanks everyone. Our scouts do try to run the sheets to the coach (both being very much full-time jobs)--I think it's just a manpower difficulty. We'll get a runner who isn't also trying to personally scout every match! I love the robot battery-powered printer. Genius! Thanks again. :)

I literally texted every match strategy to the coach. I would send the capabilities and weaknesses of the other 5 robots in our match. I'd try to get them this info about 6-7 matches ahead of time.

That's awesome, never thought of doing that
