This system was amazing because the drivers were able to quickly go on a computer in the pit and look up info about partners and opponents.

This online system is especially useful at championships!!! The field and pits are so far apart, it's hard to get data back to the pits with a paper system.
I'm pretty sure this system was illegal...

Has anyone looked into setting up a bluetooth system for moving data? I'm pretty sure they are not illegal (will have to check the rules). Phones and laptops pretty much all have it, and it has a good enough range for match scouting
