Re: Computer-Assisted Scouting

I'm experimenting with a scouting program that I'm developing myself. I'm still a noob in VB but I'm learning at a fast pace. Basically what I'm doing is making a GUI for both a laptop, and a PDA running windows pocket 2002. When you input data into the program, it places it in an excel spreadsheet that can be transmitted Via a wireless connection to the PDA, or vice versa. that way the scouter's in the stands can just send the new data right to the pits.

EDIT: A few people told me that Wireless networks are banned at the competitions, so I'll have to figure out something else.
