Their system is awesome. However, it does require an Internet connection from time to time (I believe data can be cached locally, but then has to be uploaded to the central server).

We use Android tablets running a custom app that we build each year. Methods of communication from tablet to laptop vary, but this year we just plugged them via USB into one of the two master laptops every match or two to consolidate the data. We'd then generate reports for our drive coach with data on each team in our next match, then send those down on a flash drive to the pits where the data would get uploaded into her tablet.

Let me know if you have any questions -- happy to chat.
