Well, there is this thing called "sneaker-net" which we used to use in the "old days" - meaning someone gets off their tail end and walks over to the drive team to tell them the scouting. 
But, yeah, I think that a compatible file format would be the best, since you can always transfer that, either over email, disk, USB-drive, or other fashion, and be cooperative with the scouting efforts. We had something in 2007 that we did last-minute for the finals between our team's system and a few others... but if we build it in early, it'll make life easier.
