I have the whole thing setup now...working for real this time...I didn't trick myself.
Tommorrow I'm going to take it to school for a more comprehensive test with more computers over a longer range. I even bought one of those range extending attennas.
So for those of you who will be at the chesapeake regional. If you are interested in participating in this scouting network, just come to our pit(#1463) and get the info. We probably will have flyers to pass out to let people how to connect and use it.
Quite simple actually. Join the wireless network called "FIRST" (subject to change if it clashes with the actual event one, assuming they have one, the alternate will be "FIRSTscouting". We are still trying to get official consent from the chesapeake people, it shouldn't be a problem...thru email contact they seem to think we want internet access, but now they want to see our equipment, but whatever, it shouldn't be a problem.). Then just open up your broswer and go to
www.FIRSTlook.net and follow any instructions there.
