Connecting multiple Bluetooth devices for scouting
We hope to use six 2013 Nexus 7 Android tablets for scouting this year. Is there a way to get them all to connect via Bluetooth to a single computer (which would be the server?) Ideally we hope to use a Raspberry Pi as a server but if we needed something else we could do so.

Our fallback is to use hardwired ethernet to each tablet but that's more clunky logistically. There's also a problem with Android 4.3 on these tablets not having the right drivers for USB ethernet so some hacking will be involved.
