Re: Any tips on how to design an electronic way of scouting?

Over the past two years I have been working on a web based scouting program. This program utilizes HTML, Javascript, and PHP to input, store, display, and analyze scouting data. The primary advantage of building the program for the web is that it can be viewed by any device that can access the internet. This year we will be creating a wired internet network in the stands as wifi is prohibited by the rules. We will have six scouts armed with laptops, smart phones, or 3g/4g connected tablets to watch one robot per match for the entire competition. Additionally before qualifying matches start we will be collecting robot photos (with teams permission of course). Our data can be viewed in realtime from anywhere with an internet connection. It's taken a lot of effort to get the software to where it is today, but I think its going to be really useful during competitions.

If this is anything like what you are looking for, I'm happy to help you in any way I can.
