I want to try to see if our team can get electronic scouting this year. We did paper forms, then a couple people put in all the info into a spreadsheet. This was killer.

Our school may have access to iPod Touches, do you know if this would be an option? Also, how will you store data to GSheets if you are offline at a competition?
No ETA for mine, it probably won't be released. I didn't see an actual app from last year just a mention. There might be technical issues to sharing the app source/template given it isn't code based, I just don't know that at this point.

I was developing for phones and would rely on mobile data, which most venues have. There is some offline/syncing feature that could be used to minimize the need for data -- maybe it can collect all the data offline and then later sync to gsheets at once when you find wifi (hotel, home, etc), but I haven't tested that.
