I had another approach for a scouting application that would allow for cross platform network use. Setting up a web server would allow any device that has a browser to be able to scout. Sometimes settings up a web server with a data base and all can be difficult or bulky on smaller systems, so instead a simple one click application could be made. Use html for the form and to view the data, and the application can handle the database. A scouting html page could be distributed or you could make your own. Or a client application could be used. A networked program would be the most convenient because you could have a laptop in the pit to view the data real time, and all your data is centralized.
Of course if use your own wireless network is not allowed it wouldn't happen. In previous years we have found that having all the scouting data in the pits for the drive team is extremely helpful, but we haven't really had a decent way to do it.
