Basically, it works like this: one team, the host team, installs a pretty complicated software package onto their computer (complicated because it contains Apache, PHP, MySQL and BIND as well as the Sundial files). They then set up a wireless network and connect their computer to it. The teams who want to use the service simply connect to the wireless network, go to an address in their browser, and click a link, and it runs right in their web browser. It's designed to be as easy as possible to connect to.

FIRST usually doesn't have a problem with wireless networks, as long as they don't interfere with its own. As Billfred said, it's a good idea to ask first, and we did so at the Canadian Regional last year, but we didn't bother for the Championship - there were several networks already floating around there anyway.
