Our team had just used an excel type spreadsheet to organize data (which didn't do much good)
So this year we have been developing an access database to organize it all, but we are learning as we go...
We scouted all but 4 teams in cleveland (thats 60 teams) and all but a few in chicago...
We just used ours to look up info on oponents before matches and also to find out what our allies can do... the section where we recorded what peoples autonomous could do was especialy useful.
If we had ever been in a picking position we would have probably used the scouting to pick alliances also..we had a whole system set up that would rank people based on certain specifics that we could pick... cool stuff...
Our team would LOVE to get involved with some kinda of open source type project for scouting...where everyone works together and developes stuff for it, like software for different platforms and such... Lets do it!
