- There is an Anker 10 port usb charger, so that we only need one outlet at a time.
- We are running a custom scouting app.

Should be all of the questions. If you have more, feel free to ask.

Very cool, thanks for the rundown.

We have a very similar setup this year. How are you handling the process of data? Are you sending the data from the scouts to a "master" tablet? Are you posting/syncing to the cloud at all?

It is stored locally to a SQL server and then pushed to a GAE NDB server when internet is available. The tablets can also retrieve from this server to get up-to date info on both our alliance partners and opponents. We also use the GAE bulkloader to get info into a .csv that we can analyze in either Tableau or Excel
