Scouting help.

[Olivias7257]

Hi all - I am a veteran member on team 88, TJ^2. Over the past few years our strategy group has been trying to ease away from paper scouting and try to develop a database / app to use offline during competitions.

Can any current members, alumni members, or mentors who work with their strategy / scouting group point me in the direction of what is best to use for collecting, transferring, and averaging certain types of data?

Also, I am wondering what other teams are currently using for scouting instead of filling in a paper with tally marks and notes. What are the pros and cons to the scouting system that your team uses?

For the 2016 / 17 FRC season, our team is hoping to be able to use a database that can be transferred into a spreadsheet that the strategy captain can easily access on their phone and / or a tablet.

So far I have looked into using Microsoft access to collect data, and transfer the data into an excel spreadsheet. I've also looked at various IOS & Android apps that I have used with data from this years competitions.

Thank you for the help!
