Re: Does your team use Laptops for Scouting?

We use a hybrid paper/laptop system - everything is entered on paper, then copied from there into a scouting program. We'd like to get away from paper entirely, but don't have 6 laptops to use for input (we find that one person per robot is needed, maybe more depending on the game, to get good data).

We haven't had a problem with this system in Kansas City, St. Louis, or 10000 Lakes. The laptop we use can last almost a full day on battery power, which helps in the stands as we usually can't find outlets. But we can set up in the halls behind the stands (usually 1+ laptops out there, plus a printer) without a problem.
