According to the e-mail blast for off-season events, we will be using FMS Lite.

However, the link to the software download is down. We are getting ready for Bash at the Beach this weekend. I would appreciate a posting of the software download link.

Thanks everyone! Looking at the manual, it doesn't indicate how the e-stop, DS lights and DS numbers will be attached. Am I to assume we won't have them?

I haven't run an off-season yet, so take this with a grain of salt, but when I use FMS lite alone I just have ethernet connections directly to the Driver Stations.
FIRST would need to ship the arena controls for you to have the competition emergency stop, team numbers, and countdown.

So emergency stops would probably be the DS dongles, and FMS Lite didn't directly support either the Scorekeeper lights or the Team number displays over the Driver Stations.

You'll let us know after this weekend won't you?
