We all have been in those situations.I've been thinking about asking my team (5842) to help me create a scanner system where scouters and visitors to a team's pit can scan a barcode or QR code to receive stats about the team.

Scouting Purposes
Once a team has scanned the code they will receive not only information about the robot and the team for scouting purposes, but to receive information from The Blue Alliance which could also be linked to each scanner code to see how teams have done in previous events as well.

Team Recognition Purposes
At events Teams could put their previous Awards and accomplishments as a part of the code when someone scans the code.
I feel like these two are the only ones that can be easily accomplished mostly because not every team needs to do it and I wouldn't be surprised if there's at least a couple teams that have qr codes out for people to scan.
