If you guys do STAMP, they we can have some people to voluneteer maybe. We're having problems with the number of people scouting though.
In the last week I have learned quite a bit about the operation of FSN. Currently, keeping your laptops running in the stands is not necessary. The way it will/should work is (this is optimal, but can be done other ways):
1) Six people are assigned to scout for any given match. One for each bot on the floor.
2) Data for that match is collected on paper forms, or can be collected electronically on the same forms and saved with a different file name for each match (you make the call).
3) During a break, end of scouting shift, lunch or when ever works best, all the data from the forms is entered into the database on the server. Six match sheet, one per team, is compiled into a single entry in the "Match Data" on the server. This is the only time that the laptop, PC, PDA need to be booted and on line. This can be done wirelessly or connected, it will depend on the equipment available.

The biggest problem at the SVR was there were not too many people wanting to help collect scouting data. So, 971 asked the different teams that ran their own scouting processes if they would share their data, it appeared to help out a lot. Hopefully we can have enough scouts to make this work, if not, we can always ask other teams to share. We really need six people for each match, one to observer each bot, anything less will be very difficult to do.

Depending on which router you have, we might be able to set them up as repeaters, but this is usually reserved for Wireless Access Points. Wireless Routers don't usually support that configuration.
