Scouting help.

[Jcarbon]

Eagle Imperium is also trying to move away from paper scouting, and we're in progress with our system right now. The plan is to have an Android app that scouts can run on their phones that records data into .xls files on each phone. Whenever we want the data, we will plug all 6 phones into a master laptop with a USB hub, and then pull the data using ADB. Once the data is on the laptop, it can be combined into one big database in Excel, and we can analyze it.

This system has a few advantages. No internet access of any kind is required. It runs on phones and laptops people already had, so no need to buy a bunch of tablets. Also, we have already used Excel for analysis in the past, so the new system will fit in well with that.

Let me know if you have questions about our scouting system (paper or electronic). I'll definitely be posting about it when it's finished.
