We used slack. Drive coach (me) and backup drive coach (for when I'm inspecting) are both on it, as well, as student strategy lead, and student scouting lead.

IMHO, most of the scouting data is for generating pick lists for eliminations. All I need as a drive coach (for my team, anyway) is data about what defenses to select for the opponent, and what defenses my partners can't do, to aid in discussion about who gets what.

If there is a particular note that is important, it will be passed along as well, like a particular robot liking to play defense, or being vulnerable to a corner tap when they line up to shoot.

We used slack because it is device agnostic, and our programming team uses it anyway. Also notifications for it show up on my Pebble Time, so i don't always need to take out my phone. one of my drivers also has a time hooked up to slack. We both have to remove our watches when in the driver station, though.
