Using some kind of phone app is probably the gold standard, though after collaborating with some teams who have scouted with paper for years, I can see how paper's a feasible option, even if it's inefficient.

I could contest every point but the underlying message I have is this.
If you have a paper scouting system and its bad or inefficient its not because you used paper, its because you have a bad scouting system.

Either way

One constraint I have for a scouting system is I need to be able to access the information at the driver station and G29 is pretty clear about how that is supposed to go down. Nothing that can communicate with people outside the castle.
