I'd be interested in getting something going to develop a full open source FMS.

Here is some of the stuff I worked on a while ago, mainly as a proof of concept: https://github.com/4ndr3w/Java-FRC-FMS/

FMS -> DS is fully implemented. Robot mode(auto/tele), state, alliance, and station setting all work with the 2013 DS.
Since the DS->FMS stuff is not yet implemented, the FMS will just blindly send packets to the team's DS IP without gathering status info, but it works.

For anyone interested, I used this whitepaper as a reference for the protocol. Despite this being for the old Kiwibyte 2009 DS, it still works with the 2013 DS.
