A couple of years ago we did something very similar to this approach. I set up a "Google Form" that any of the scout could run from any smartphone. They would enter the data for each robot/match. This data was stored in a google spreadsheet. Every 5 matches or so, I would download the data into excel (via a tethered hotspot) and then read it with a similar tool to Tableau (QlikView). Now we use an in-house developed Android app that loads data into a SQL database, but is still read via the dashboard. Hope this helps.
