Re: We're looking for a scouting system
If you are creative with Google Forms, you can aggregate scouting data in interesting ways.
Scouting has always been a slog in the past, especially for the students inputting the data. A true buzzkill.
A well made Survey allows them to enjoy the matches and gather pertinent data.
Therein lies the rub. That is where you need to be creative.
Personally, I could regale you with tales about creating team data sheets with Robot pictures garnered on Thursday, inserted into Word docs and printed out on heavy stock paper on an hp 5220 in the wee hours to be placed in accordion folders to be disseminated and dropped through bleachers and recollected and pizza stained on Friday night only to be recycled after we were picked 18th, etc, blah blah blah.
Then there are the years where teams set up a local network all for naught. Extension cords searching for electrons or running off old Robot batteries through inverters. The list goes on and on, yadda, yadda, yadda.
If you are creative, Google forms allows Real Time updates that the drive team can use before each match. You can create visual outputs that are useful in making a pick list.
Less paper, happier scouts.
Disruptive technology in a good way.
Another Bonus: Scouts can speak specific comments or notes about a teams performance in a match and it will be logged in the survey.
