That's actually a really good idea - it would stop random computers set to "Connect automatically to non-preferred networks" from wandering on. Thanks!

Was the fact that there were dozens of other wireless networks set up by teams ( in violation of FIRST rules - I think) causing the problem?
That, and the GWCC and Autodesk networks were causing some problems as well (although there's nothing we could do about that).

I really couldn't say. Both FIRST's staff electrical engineer and "the developer" from 4FX expressed interest in integrating Sundial into the scoring system next year, but I've heard the same thing the past two years, and haven't gotten the support I've needed until late in the season. My biggest problem working with FIRST has been the high turnover rate in technical staff and different scoring systems - only time will tell if something can be worked out for 2008.
