Scouting Software?????

[EmptyNerd]

Being rookies, I think our team - 2337 - did a super job in scouting during the course of the season. It was all done manually by various students on a preprinted form (as I assume most teams do it). Unfortunately, all the info that was generated then had to be manually added to the master on the head mentor's computer for compilation . This activity took hours to complete and went into the early morning hours most of the time. Another mentor and I were discussing options to simplify the process. One of the thoughts we had was to use multiple PDA's, collect the data on the various bots assigned to different students, and then "dump" the info into the master spreadsheet at the end of each day.

From my experience in other sports, there is a software program called digital scout (I think) for use on Palms. It can be used to track everthing related to the specific sport it's geared for and makes quick work of compiling anything the coaches want to look at.

I know it's a long shot as I don't believe a major software company would create a canned program for FIRST events, but does anybody know of anything similar that has been or could be used for our comps?? - doesn't have to be for Palms - any PDA would work.

Or, are there any teams out there that have computerized their scouting and would be willing to share???
