The way we ran our software last year, we had 6 laptops in constant rotation (team members would sit for 1-2 hours to capture data on every team in the match). It works best in real time, and is optimized for fast data entry. You also need some way to network the computers together (wires to a switch or wireless).
The information it spits out is amazing, and easily saved us 2-3 hours of strategy time for alliance selection for championships. Nice thing is you can use the data however you want in the end. We crank through teams using a tiered system Yes, No, Maybe, then within the Yes & Maybe's we do ranks and subranks, which results in giving us a pretty good ordered list on Friday night. Then on Saturday we sit with the list and watch live adjusting the ranks as needed. While not a simple process, this mass amount of data easily sorted is a huge help. Hopefully this year's data proves as useful (we tend to refine it after every event)!
Good luck, have fun, and keep the feedback coming!
