There is one extremely rare bug, if you use a non-classmate computer, that did not get discovered until our team went to the Mainely SPIRIT event this past September. Rare, in that it involves (1) a non-classmate computer with the driver station software installed; (2) the off-season FMS (though, come to think of it, maybe not); and (3) the (approximately) 39 teams that are numbered in the 1100s. Until it was proved at Maine (using the Field Management team doing debugging -- thanks everyone! -- and multiple borrowed laptops), we were convinced it was our Dells that were a problem. It turns out that for whatever reason any 192.11.yy.zz connections were ignored by the FMS.
Otherwise, I'm sure any machine that can take the DS software will work.
you must understand when wearing that FIRST Volunteer shirt, you personally & directly represent FIRST, and you do the best job for FIRST as an organization, that you can in performing that job....Period. - cglrcng [more]
