Post Team Rush 27 Scouting

Hello, i'm just wondering what people think of this idea for a scouting system:

Our main goal is to drastically reduce the amount of paper used. We have one computer system with an MS Access database set up for use with a front end that allows data to be queried in any fashion desired. When a query is made before a match, we can print off a nifty little sheet that lists the teams and their qualities.
Now, that's a good database, but not out-of-the-ordinary. However, the biggest part of paper-reduction in our system is actually how we collect the data. I designed (in z80 ASM) a TI-83+ application that has a user-friendly UI allowing any type of data that is desired to be input. For example, we decided a list of questions we want, so i made the application accept them and display them and their possible answers to the user. Once the scouter is done, he reports to us and dumps over the file containing the data. From there, we use a computer app i made that takes that data and adds it to a .csv file which is referenced by the DB. From there, our data is up-to-date and all the DB admin needs to do is hit F5 (refresh).

We successfully tested this system - and found it very useful - in Ypsilanti and we will make good use of it in Chicago and Nationals.
