yea but then what would i do at regionals if everyones scouting for me?
myes well... forgive me but i personally would like a backup... i would just be worried if (by the way it looks) its all stored at a central location, and youre trying to make everyone work together etc. etc..

in chicago they had the wireless internet set up and there were problems last year about our network and their network fighting... so this year the man in charge said something to the effect of 'if i have to smash their computers with a hammer, the thunderchickens will not put up a network.' so we had to spend almost the entire practice day doing nothing because we wouldnt recieve instructions on how to use their network until later in the day... then it ended up we could only have 3 IP addresses when we scout all four robots on four computers so need 4 IPs because thats the way we set up our database, so we had to inconveniance a team by having them come down and sign to give us their IP, then their network wouldnt work with our macs, then we had to allow anyone on any computer to access our database, overloading and crashing our server...

but i degress.

essentially i just wouldnt be able to believe that a centralized standard database would cater well to our specific logistical needs unless youre incredibly thorough. so we have different needs. i understand that this database will be great for everyone who cant scout everything and we will probably end up falling back on it somewhat if we can or must, and i understand that everyone is working really hard to make it work, but i dont want to have to demand things from you guys so it would work for us, i know i can demand things from myself and it will work for us.

so yea does anyone have one of those them there access databasers?

just my retort.
