There is one extremely rare bug, if you use a non-classmate computer, that did not get discovered until our team went to the Mainely SPIRIT event this past September. Rare, in that it involves (1) a non-classmate computer with the driver station software installed; (2) the off-season FMS (though, come to think of it, maybe not); and (3) the (approximately) 39 teams that are numbered in the 1100s. Until it was proved at Maine (using the Field Management team doing debugging -- thanks everyone! -- and multiple borrowed laptops), we were convinced it was our Dells that were a problem. It turns out that for whatever reason any 192.11.yy.zz connections were ignored by the FMS.
Otherwise, I'm sure any machine that can take the DS software will work.
