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

I never said wifi hotspot, btw. Cell-phone-internet hotspot-thing, was my intended meaning. I should have worded it better

So, bluetooth works, you can do ethernet but the cords getting tangled can be an issue.

We try to make sure to keep Devin away from our scouting system. He might try to fix it with a hammer...

I hope they see this and weigh in.

Yep, our students have been working getting it on the Google Play store over this weekend. Here's a link to it in Google Play store and here's a link to the CD thread where we can receive feedback and discuss on it more. It does not use bluetooth or wifi at all, just QR codes between a user device (for scouters) and a master device (for the data compiler).
