Re: How-To Scouting Program
Team 1676 uses a local-network based "intranet" system for its scouting. One of the team members programmed it in PHP. Each student has their own laptop (which is given to them by the school district) that they access it on. Data is entered into a form (which, conviently this year, is not hard coded- all it takes is column headers and entry "type"), which they submit to the database at the end of the match. This database is searchable for up to 3 teams at a time, meaning that in addition to our strategy sheets, our drive team has statistics sheets on our alliance and on the opposing alliance. We've found this system to be very effective, and are getting very welll known for it- we distribute all our raw data to any team that wants it. If you're interesting in hearing more details about the system, PM me and I'd be happy to tell you more about it.
