Re: Scouting using tablets
FRC 1511 has been considering using tablets for a scouting system this year, in previous years we used 2 car batteries to power laptops for the entire competition. The largest difficutly we are facing with tablets in the price, power usage without large power source, and how it networks. But another gain to scouting using tablets is that it is easier for the scouters to move around and get better views if nessesary, though a new Ipad mini can go for $300, which not many teams can afford to buy 6 or 7 of.
