Just to add to the above post, the current software is called TacOps, and was developed by a Team 190 alum (originally for BattleCry). In the setup for BattleCry, it required three computers to run: one FreeBSD machine running the scoring software and updating the database, one machine with a web server running several Flash pages (the video display, the rankings, the pit displays, etc.), and one computer with a video capture card and video out that overlayed the display on the video. The setup for FIRST may be different or simplified, I'm not sure.

If you really need to get more info, I'd suggest contacting FIRST, as they might be able to get you in touch with the developers.
