Re: HTMLish based scouting

The simplest way to do this is to have an HTML based input page that sends the form data to an SQL database. To read the data, you can use PHP and do almost any type of analysis you would like. Very simple and straightforward.

If you don't want to deal with an internet connection, you can run a simple WAMP server (or equivalent) on a laptop and connect all the scouting laptops together using an ethernet switch. It will run exactly like a website server, except on a laptop. We ran a system like this at IRI, Fall Classic, Battle at the Border, and CVR.

There is a learning curve involved, but the FRC community is an amazing resource.
