I'm the person on Jack's team (201) writing our Scouting app, so here's my input.
a) I'm writing my program right now for WinCE, not Palm. This is because our team is getting WinCE devices, not Palm devices. I could write a Palm version too, as long as I get a heads up.
b) XML is as easy to output as CSV, from a programming perspective, they're both text. The main advantage to CSV is that it can be learnt by anyone, and is smaller. On the other hand, the XML standard can be changed mid-season with fewer issues.
I haven't looked at XML a lot, but I'm putting it to the top of my project list, and it doesn't sound hard.
Just thinking about it now, I would output the match scores as a CSV file, and the robot data files as a XML file.
