For my own sanity, I would reeeeaaally like to use laptops, but we've never been able to make it work. We don't have team funds for computers (we've got one team computer that is on the verge of death currently) and we barely have enough people to get by with paper. Also, none of us are particularly computer-inclined, except our drivers/programmers who have enough to do already, so I have no idea how we'd get a compilation/relay system set up.

So, for now, we have one sheet per team in a fold-out organizer, and a excel keyworded sheet with basic pit scouting and impressions, and keep the matches on paper. My job, as head of scouting, is to make sure that the right sheets get out during the right match, and that they get to the drive team on time. At Atlanta this is remarkably simple- drive team walks to the base of the wall, and we hand the sheets down from the stands. They can then look at them during their wait. It's really low-tech but worked pretty well for us at SVR this year, and Atlanta last year. Before that, we had a binder.
