Re: Driverstation
Yes you must be in on the Driver Account!
My Team is helping out with the FMS at a pre-season this year, and programmers have been doing some prep-work when nothing from the shop has come our way. So as we were playing around with FMS 2009 Lite to get ready, one of the things we wanted to test was the ability to use it with non-FIRST laptops.
We couldn't get it to work on anything but the classmate initially, but as we went, we found out that as long as the name of the account your logged into on any computer is Driver and it is set up as an administrator, the driver station will connect to the (2009-2010) FMS. It will also immediately link the two up with out the bars up top like they do on the driver account in the classmate.
So in a nutshell, at least until we hear more about the 2011 FMS, I would be logged into the driver account to be safe.
A side note:
To any teams attending pre-seasons using a non FIRST-computer, make sure you have an account named driver on the computer of choice! This would be good to prepare in case the 2011 edition is like this, or if we don't see the 2011 in Delta or Lite form before regionals.
