Ok. Well, i've been a little bussy with school these past few weeks, and haven't been able to put a lot of time into this. However, now that I have more time, and have thought more about multi-team scouting, I have some ideas.

Instead of trying to do a HUGE scouting project collecting all sorts of 'Match Data', lets just go small this year with collecting 7(approx) small things on each team. This data would have to be mostly subjective and would need to be able to be done all on Thur. from talking to teams in the pits. Also, while our team has 6 ppl that will do nothing but scouting, most teams aren't that way. SO, the collecting needs to be able to be done by one person.

I want to see many different types of apps that can collect that data. (Ex: MS Access, Pocket PCs, Palms, Excel?, Filemaker, and totally paper.) Now, I (and others on my team) could handel access, ppc, and paper... but I'd need some other teams that can make an app in Palms or Filemaker to make one. (So that I don't need to take the time to fumble my way though making one ) oh... All output needs to be done in XML

Then, people could upload their data to www.feds201.com I'm going to make the system so that you don't need to do any registeration to submit data. I know that this would leave a door open for ppl uploading good data on their team more than once, but I'll log ips and if I see a lot of entries for one team from one ip... I will also like to make a Poll type of thing so that people could just vote/submit data for one team.

I will be working with Brandon to do intergration of the system into the CD forums.

Also, I could see some fun coming out of this. Like: 'We have a 4.2 rating! Please vote for us!' How the rating would be computed, I don't know now, but it could be done.

Yes... With subjective data, everyone has their own thinking of what the 'Best is' and what isn't so hot. But... (here's my goal) If we have at least 10 teams per regional that submit data on every other team their, then some of the wacky data would be thrown off. Also, something like... 10% of teams should be a '1', 20% of teams should be a '2', 40% of teams should be a '3', 20% of teams should be a '4', and 10% of teams should be a '5' (This would be a good outline)

Now, my questions to you...

What 5-8 things should be collected (exclude team #/name/location), and what would be a good name for this system? - I want the name to be something that relates to all of FIRST teams, and not just the ones that use the system.

Other ideas?
