Re: FRC FCS

You are very likely not going to be able to replicate the exact behavior of the FMS in a practice setting. Connecting directly to your router via wireless connection and setting the Driver Station to Practice mode is the most similar to match conditions that you'll likely get.

On the field, the FMS facilitates connection between robot and driver station, as well as operating scoring, lighting and display functions. It runs your specific connection through a VLAN to protect the connection and assure only you are connecting to your robot. In a practice setting, wireless is the best way to get very close to what FMS does.

Welcome to Chief!
