PDA (Palm Pilot...) Scouting Applications

[Matt Starkey]

Has anyone out there considered building their own PDA application to score the matches as they go, or to input data into a scouting database?

IF yes:
What software are you using to develop the apllicaiton?
What kind functions does it have?
Does it interface with MS Access?
Are you willing to share?

Team 236 has started to generate a quick scoring calculator for the PALM OS. The calculator should be able to keep track of the balls in each of three goals, keep track of which aliance those balls should be scored for, how many robots are in each robot zone, how many goals are in each goal zone, and finally post the scores of each of the aliances. We are thinking that the coaches in the player station could use the quick taps of the pen thing to keep track of the score and make strategy decisions in the middle of the match based on calculated scores. We beleive that the more well informed the teams are about the score during the match, the higher the scores will be for both teams during the qualification rounds. Remember that it does not benefit anyone to crush the other team 100 to zero, 100 x 0 = 0

Is there anyone interested in a copy if we can build a stand-alone application?
