Team 330 has worked with a Scouting App developed by Team 1073 for the last 3 years that transferred files from Android tablets to a scouting computer via Bluetooth. There is a Python based webservice that runs on one laptop to collect the data from the tablets. The App is written in Java and built to compile for Android devices - not IOS. It's much easier to side-load apps on Android. There is a bit of setup required on the central scouting computer.
Students can easily edit a spreadsheet of data elements they desire to collect for scouting that is then imported and used to automatically build the app. No coding required unless you want to modify the default App. Results can be viewed in a webrowser on the main computer or uploaded to a hosted website (via tethered cell phone, etc.) and made available to anyone with Internet access (i.e. cell phones in the pits, etc.).
Ken St.Hilaire (a.k.a RoboScout) with Team 1073 maintains the code and was a great help in getting this working for us.
