Yes, all data will be available through our domain (http://www.firstscouting.net/ <-- There's no website there yet, but there will be in the days following kickoff), and we will also have an overall view at the entire FIRST world, showing statistics across all regionals so you can get a complete view of a team.

There are also a few different ways data will be posted. At regionals where internet access is available, it will be syncronised several times throughout the day to our main server. At regionals where no internet access is available, the hosts will try to upload the data as soon as they can get an internet connection to upload the statistics.

Also, I'd like to thank Ben Blount of team 1746 (Forsyth Alliance) for hosting our webspace and bandwidth!
