Paper

[Jack]

Hey y'all...

I know that right now, we don't even have the slightest idea of how this system will work. However, i think this is something to bring up early on, because this data collection method might need something special to be done in the system's core design.

Ok... Now, I'd be willing to guess that more teams use Paper to collect their scouting data than any other method. If it is because no one knows how to use the device which they have, well.. that will be fixed. BUT... As i may suspect in many cases, it is because the team can just not afford anything but paper.

SO... What would be some ideas that would allow someone who uses paper to:

1) Be able to see the data that has allready been collected and is in the system for a team. Could you fit all the collected data on to 1 sheet of paper?

2)What would be the best way for the scouts to collect data on a team during the competition and then be able to view it again?

3)What would be the best way for the collected data to be uploaded into the system?

I know these are some very hard questions to answer, but the sooner thery're out, the better we have at finding a soultion. I think that a paper system will be necessary in order to get a lot of teams to use this system.

Ideas?

Thanks,

Jack
