ntpdate on port 123
I need our two PCDuinos (image trackers) to request the current time/date from our driver station laptop using ntpdate/ntpd because the PCDuinos have no battery backup. I currently have it working on our network but I am concerned that the FMS will block port 123. I noticed that port 80 is passed by the FMS. The following FMS whitepaper defines all of the ports:

Has anyone successfully used ntpdate/ntp during a match? Can I switch ntpdate to use port 80?
