That way, with everyone's cooperation, we will know exactly what each robot is SUPPOSED to do before the Competitions even begin!!!

I really hate to burst your bubble of excitement, but last year, there were so many attempts to set on up. Including myself, but all of them never came popular.
Why?
Because the data wasn't accurate. You will not get every team. And basically, no one cares, until they come to the competition. That is what practice day is all about. You have soooo, soooooooooooo much time, in practice day. Use it to scout other teams. That is when it is the most accurate, and plus it is an un-bias opinion from your own team.
The only thing I liked last year was team Grr's filemaker pro set-up. It was all organized. You can input your own data. You can see it live with a video, have a QTVR object of it, or a 3d MAX animation. It also included a scorer, when and how teams advanced in the ranking. And you can sort them by whatever specifications you put in. For me this is the greatest thing. Bad thing is that you need laptop, which some team don't have.
I actually remember the Motorola team, two years ago had a similar configuration, it was an extremely good, they even provided workstations for you to browse. The only problem with that is that it only featured teams from one regional.
