All of these ideas in the previous posts are great. We use a tablet for many of the reasons above.

We use a tablet for a specific reason during competition. We use it to capture our robot competing in the match utilizing our teams media pass. This allows for our drivers some real feedback after the match. It can be reviewed instantly after the match. It was invaluable in analyzing our game strategy this season.

It is also nice to have one to review rules while in queuing and to keep up with the rankings.

I hope this helps!
