My understanding is that this is the intended approach if you decide you must run your dashboard on a separate laptop. Screen real estate and independant displays for driver and kicker-operator are the only reasons that I think justify the added complexity. The CPU on the classmate is easily up to the task of running your dashboard... unless you write it exceedingly poorly!
In my opinion, from a software approach, it is best to implement two dashboards... one on the classmate that shows some of your data and also fowards on what data you want to show on the other dashboard. Then the second can just communicate with the first, meaning that the networking is completely up to you since the link between the DS and he Dashboard is independent of the field network.
Just think of the deadline as your six week deadline for FIRST, just when you think you can't do it, you are amazed by what you can do. - JackN [more]
