Re: Driver's computer ?
 

It's irresponsible to recommend not installing AV software for anything other then very limited circumstances. It's unlikely that a driver station computer that is shared between multiple people are one of those cases. At the LA regional in 2010, approximately 1/3 of people's memory sticks that they used to turn in their BOMs were virus infected.

Oh I see, I kinda took your phrase out of context. Sorry! haha Thanks for the welcome!

Re: Driver's computer ?
 

Last year we used an HP laptop for our drivers station because we wanted the touch screen. We never had any connectivity issues that could be traced directly to the computer. We only lost connectivity once, and that was because we hadn't rebooted the CRIO after the previous match.

I would actually recommend not using the classmate as a drivers station because, with more power, you can do more interesting things and add features that could bog down the classmate. That being said, test it extensively before using a "custom" drivers station computer. It would be unfortunate if you had connectivity issues due to your choice of computer.
