Re: possibility of collaborative scouting through LAN?
We're hoping to do a fair bit with LAN and our scouting this year. Last year at Palmetto, we had a wireless LAN network up and a discussion forum on it, which we tried to get as many teams as we could on it. This year we hope to have a completely wireless scouting system, using Microsoft Access or possibly SQL or MySQL (apologies for the probable slaughtering of the spelling, I don't use it, it's just been suggested to me), where our scouts can go on their laptops (the school gives us wireless-enabled laptops) and fill out the form, and either live-update or periodical update to the main server (which someone, most likely me, will be watching). Then whoever is watching the server will compile the scouting report for the next match and send it down to the drive team. How publicly available we make our scouting system is yet to be seen, but we should have it ready in time for the NJ regional.
