I promise not to say "I told you so", you have gotten the best advice I can offer you, now I would suggest you recruit some of your cheer leaders to do some heavy lifting to see how devoted they are, and get some expert advise from the forum on data acquisition.

You can of course build as you go, but you will almost always get better results by thinking things through before jumping in. I assume a goal is improved efficiency, that will be a metric that is being watched closely, without fudging it with wall power.
