Some details are available on the AndyMark site.

You need an FTA to get, and be responsible for, the FIRST field electronics.
This doesn't include A/V equipment for field sound effects or displaying scores and rankings.

Lacking field electronics, simple substitute electronics involve two switches, an AP, and a laptop to run FMS Light (just synchronizes and cycles the Alliance driver stations through a typical match), plus two 50' Ethernet cables and six 10' cables for the driver stations. You'll also need your own equipment (projector/screen or monitor and computer) to show scores and rankings, as well as a separate score keeping system (check the AndyMark site).
