Re: HTMLish based scouting

We are taking a similar approach this year, but opting to store all the information in a MySQL database in the cloud (as well as the entire website). Of course, the downfall of this is that without a cellular connection we're sort of screwed.

Eventually I'd like to integrate Tableau, but we're just working with a simpler graphing plugin right now. I might run it locally off my laptop for the next competition if we can't get a good internet connection. It does make scouting much easier to just eliminate paper entirely. We also have an interactive system for data entry and automatically generated statistics based on teams.

If you're curious you can view the application here (source code)
