That's a really good idea. I'm not sure what we as a team plan on doing for scouting equipment next year. The whole new scouting equipment choice is on me and what money we can get from grants or from team sponsorships. Right now, we are planning on possibly getting tablets and running some for of excel so we can pull the data to a computer and compute power rankings on a device like tableu. Another route we are looking at is maybe developing some android app for scouting, computing the data in real time from a server and being able to more automated things. Whichever route we decide to go down, doing practice scouting on old regionals will be helpful.
