I'm glad to hear other teams are working on scouting DB's out west. I've had a request to send a copy of WASH w/ SOAP to be used in Cal, but it's way too much work to get it running & I'm sure there will be problems that only the developers could fix (unless you want to fly Kenny & me out for a nice vacation ). But I'm willing to help you guys out by giving advice or answering technical questions (I'm also volunteering Kenny without him knowing).

- The first thing I'd say is get started on this today. You've got no idea how much work it takes to get something good up and running.
- Decide what type of data & information you want on each robot. Will it be general robot data, or will it be a summary of how the robot performed in a specific round, or will it be both?
- Decide how you will output it, only display on computer screen, or print it out, etc.

Well, I'm sure I've got more advice, but I can't think right now.
