Team Fusion #364, Bayou Regional, FMS Woes

Ryan,

First, it's a WPA key. Second, the kiosk only sets up the radio for bridge mode. I don't have one here to verify, but I'm pretty sure switching over to AP mode wouldn't end up with a fully configured AP that your bridge would try to connect to. I could be wrong on that point, though. An identical radio in bridge mode shouldn't cause problems unless it's hooked up to something with a conflicting IP or something. At any rate, I'm really doubtful on that one. It just seems so unlikely that someone would go to that trouble. Incompetence seems unlikely as well, as who would accidentally program a radio with the wrong number and then leave it plugged in? Still, the self-serve WPA kiosk is definitely a gaping security hole in the system. I wouldn't advocate going back to the bad old days of handing out and programming WPA keys by hand, but handing out a team specific password for the kiosk would be a good idea.

Lastly, when you come to Lone Star, would you consider leaving everything as is for a practice match? I'm pretty sure Lone Star isn't getting the Bayou truck, so it'd be a pretty compelling data point if your robot, as is, does/doesn't work on the Lone Star field.
