Re: scouting 2011

What my team has found in the past is that open response of any form is not good. Especially when you have 6 or more people scouting. My team uses schedules for scouting so we can end up with 20 different scouts. Here's how to do it:
-give options (check boxes are good)
-yes and no is always a plus

Also, on a side note:
I am currently developing a very large scouting system. It will be setup like a kiosk (hopefully) at our pit where other teams can come in, type in a number and print a report with scores, penalties, pictures, and mechanical details. If anyone would like to help out, I am currently looking for multi-user use of an OOBase database, if its possible. I will be releasing this when it is done.
