 This is an idea that we tried to prototype in 2019.  TODO: picture
 And will try again in 2020.
+====== The basic idea ======
+We've done pretty well with purely paper-based scouting.  Now one of our programmers has written a web-based scouting application.  Scouting subteam members can enter data using a laptop or phone.  Ideally, we'll have 6 data-entry stations (laptop/phone) and one more for data analysis and output.
+There's just one problem: cellphone networks are spotty at competition, and there's often no decent public wifi.
+The solution: a private network-in-a-box all our own.
