I was just talking to a guy today about getting everyone on 1 scouting system. I think if someone made a web based app that people could link to through a wireless network. If it had a web page that looked like the playing field and had the scoring features or scout-able aspects so you could track a teams individual performance by manipulating the web applet. Also on the page you select the team number you're scouting. So if theres 6 bots on the field, it would allow the scouter's to select any 1 of the 6 to scout. Every time one is selected its taken off the list, so 2 people won't scout the same team. The data gets collected on one laptop, but anyone within the network can get reports from the database.

This of coarse only works if you take a poll and collect the data most people want. I'd go with something simple. But anyway, I usually carry a clipboard that I manually update from the scouting cards my team fills out. But instead I'd carry a wireless laptop on my cart and get the data from that instead of having to chase my head scout around.
