I don't have the Opera browser, but I use an R4 and DSOrganize...I'd test out now, but I don't actually have a wireless access point I can use...at the moment.
I think this could be a useful idea-good thought!

I don't know if the internet is reliable enough for this application... but then again, it certainly would be easier! The system we made was just coded in PAlib and didn't have any neat features, so actually getting the data off of the cards and sorting it took a little longer to make and implement than I wanted it to. However, the scouting did provide a very accurate representation of which robots were doing the best and which weren't. We made it save the data to .txt files on the SD cards and then stuck them all in a giant Excel macro for sorting, which made looking up data a snap.
But I'd imagine that if internet isn't a problem with the new system (I'm not up to date on the status of wifi hotspots are regionals this year) we could probably get DSorganize working with a sorting website and wala!
I'm curious to know if any other teams tried DS scouting? One hour in a hotel room sorting data and picking teams is a lot better than 6 hours
