2016 Scouting Ideas/Apps
I know that it's early, but we [our team] wants to get a jump on scouting ideas (and possibly mobile apps) for this year!
My thoughts on mobile apps: (subject to mentor approval &#128540 2014 we had 6 school iPads and 6 dedicated students in the stands, scouting on those iPads. It worked GREAT, I thought, the only issue was iPad security. Our coach could NOT leave the stands, as school policy for off-site tech states that whoever checks it out, is responsible for it.

2015 we used paper... Yuck. Given that 2015 was a confusing scouting year, but I believe iPads were easier.

So, I thought that, most students have iPhones or Android devices. Why not use those? (Again, subject to mentor approval) Obviously, devices CANNOT communicate in match and in arena.

So... Barring any complications w/ approval, are any teams planning on making an iOS 2016 scouting app, or iOS and Android? We would be greatly appreciative of one--as we have no idea how to code an iOS app 😜

TL/DR: Are any teams planning on making an iOS or iOS and Android 2016 scouting app?
