We scouted on paper and had every match run through a laptop on the spot. If you have someone willing to enter data, its a great process.

You can power a laptop for a long time with a standard robot battery (great use for old non-FIRST-legal batteries). It involves a little bit of modification, but with a battery, inverter, cigarette adapter, and a battery connecter, its very possible. You can store everything easily in a backpack.

You could probably power a series of PDA's as well with this system.
