One of them is for videotaping matches so I can review them with the drive team after each match. It also acts as a backup in case one of the other six tablets does not work.

I was going to get 7 ASUS Transformer but settled on 5 Motorola Xoom because I got a special deal for open box and demo units to save money. The Motorola Xoom is more than adequate for our purpose.
The Xoom is a good choice since its essentially a "Nexus" device and still receiving new updates straight from Google (through 4.1.2 at least).

Starting this year all students at one of the three schools that make up our team are required to have iPads. So our tablet makeup will consist of those, personally owned iPads, and personally owned Android tablets. As such we are testing a Google Docs based system because it is simple and cross platform. Still evaluating the apps that have been released by other teams for both platforms.
