Post Re: How do you do scouting software?

Team 245 normally uses pencil and paper for scouting. We use one set of papers for scouting the robot before the matches to identify its features (drive system, manipulator(s), expected abilities, etc.) and a second set for scouting during the matches to note what the team actually does and how well it performs those functions (where it scores, how many times, etc.).

This year, with any luck, we may go digital and use a database. I am creating a website with a branch just for FRC and scouting (local copies of the branch will be made). The site will hopefully be available to all teams to utilize a week before the first set of regionals.

P.S.
I couldn't think of a better name when I made the site: FIRST Chat
Attached is a preview of the site.
