And another question; Does it work on phones too?

A schema only has to be downloaded once. The data collection is currently on phones only. I haven't ported it to laptops (but that may happen). In the current dev version the data transfer is only over HTTP. There will be other ways to transfer data before competition season. HTTP was just the easiest to implement and test on all three platforms.

I'll keep you guys in mind for beta testing! I don't have an Android device so I'll definitely need beta testers for that platform.

I would love to see someone develop one of these apps that uses cameras and QR-type codes displayed on the screens to share data instead bluetooth/wireless.

I'll look at supporting transfer over QR code. Taking a quick look around, it shouldn't be that hard to do. I'll definitely put that on the list! Thanks for the suggestion!

Which version of Windows? I (think) can (relatively) easily add on a Windows 8.1+ Store app for data collection without a problem. Making it work for Windows 7 will be a lot more work. I can still do it, but it will take longer and probably be pushed down the priority list.
