This.

This is how 1678 does our scouting system, we have a cell phone internet hotspot thing that we hook our tablets up with(we used something a little different this year, I think we uploaded after each match). We upload to the cloud or something and have a phone app that pulls data from there.

I don't know that much about what I am talking about, read our white paper on scouting.
