Newton 2014 Pre-Scouting/Scouting Alliance

[teku14]

Pretty much I had this vision of a scouting alliance that possibly many teams can collaborate on. I'm already talking to Team 3824 HVA Rohawktics in Knoxville, TN to see if they want to be a part of this. Essentially the key challenge I'm trying to solve with this is really man-power. a lot of our scouters will not be making it to world so I've had to pull some people from other teams who may not be as accurate as our traditional scouters. Also people will definitely get exhausted over 2 and half days of continuous scouting, so then you need more people to fill in for this. The exchange for this though would be that we would obviously share data with you guys for helping us out. But this poses another potential problem. That data that we collect may be incompatible with what your team uses to analyze. We use a pretty mediocre software ourselves to collect and analyze data with maybe the exception of the in depth friday night analysis done on an excel spreadsheet that only one of our mentors knows how to use. So to mitigate that I'm actually willing to use any teams software for collecting and analyzing data as long as its half decent. I would also need it ahead of time to take a look at it and maybe come to a conclusion on who's software we should use.
