Re: Team 768's Scouting App - Bug Fix Announcement

From what little I've seen, you've got a great system. I wonder what other people think of the alternate paradigm? A little late in the game to change anything this year, but something to bear in mind for next year...

Consider: a scouting app where the server with all the data is in one place, and six client computers each ask for a match-bot assignment from the server. On bot per person, the form gets filled out as the match finishes.
Another computer stays with the drivers, and is used to see what bot best fits certain criteria, specified by the user (Best at scoring, most reliable ramp, most defensive). If necessary, backups can be done by a scheduled task on the server.

My Opinion:
Ignoring "cost", the biggest difference is probably the approach that the interface dictates; do you enter the data into the computer later, have one person scout a whole match, or have six people on six computers for any one given match?
Strike that. MERGING. With one server, and only one place where information is actually kept, merging is handled automatically.
