Scouting Network Brainstorm

[Jack]

Here is a running list of ideas....

Please reply with any ideas you have. At this first point, no idea is stupid. :)

The "List":

Overall Goals:

• Project does not belong to one person/team! (-That's for me... I'm just helping to get this thing rolling... It will be all FIRST Teams to keep it going & Design)
• "contain every possible feature" :)
• Fully Customizable for different teams needs

Collected Data:

• USFIRST Match Results
• "Team Data" - Data collected once, in the pits
• "Match Data" - Collected each match on the playing teams - Should Include both Practice Rounds and Qualifying (sp?) Matches
• Picture of EVERY robot In the pits
• Pictures of Robots on the field
• Close-up Pics of Special Parts of a Bot
• Match Videos (SOAP?? :) )

Data Collection Types:

• Paper Data Collection
• Palm OS Data Collection
• Win CE Based Data Collection
• MS Access Data Collection
• File Maker Data Collection

"Network System":

• Have access to the data on a public computer to teams at regionals & Nats.
• "Master DB" Located on one site/server
• "Master DB" Located on multiple sites/servers
• XML for data transfer/sync'ing

Ok.. I think that's about it for now. If you get an idea, throw up a quick post and i'll add it. I think we can give this about 2 weeks+ for some ideas to come out & more people to find this.

Edit: I decided to break the "list" into categorys
