Boilermaker Regional Wireless Scouting System.

[Josh Hambright]

Team 461 would like to announce that we will be running a wireless scouting system at the 2005 Boilermaker Regional.

We are still trying to confirm some details, but it looks like there will be an open wireless network in place that we will take advantage of. We are going to have a webserver set up and a web based interface for the system. Basicly you will be able to submit scouting data to the system and be able to view the data collected. This will only work if people contribute so we are asking that any teams interested contribute by bringing a wireless capible computer and contributing scouting data to the system.

The system will include pit and match scouting, and possibly ranking/match results. Also we are working on implementing other features like pictures of the robots, through a public FTP server.

More details will be made available as we have them. The system is still in the works but hopefully everything will be up and running by that weekend.

If anyone is intersted in helping get this system running at the championships or midwest regional, let us know, as we just need access to a wireless network and we will bring all the other hardware and software needed.

Wooot! I'm excited about this one!
