This is true, however, it does require a volunteer to set this up and run it. The way I think it would work is if FIRST would let a team member set it up at competitions. That way, teams would be responsible for running it. The only thing FIRST might need to do is allow that particular team to run that wireless.

Agreed. Sundial was an amazing system and I'd really like to see it return. I forget, what are the wifi restrictions at Atlanta, since the fields are so far away?

It is the same as every regional. I would suggest emailing FIRST team support and see what they can do. If not, I hear well-reasoned petitions work very well.

Yeah we usually set it up just for ourselves in the pit but a lot of teams walk by and see it on our big monitor and asked where we got it, then we have to tell them that we can't share

I just downloaded and set it up last night on my computer to get ready for our team at the Long Beach regional.

Seems like a really neat system. What ever happened to getting data from the field?

'Twould be nice if they could do that again. They already publish match videos and push match results to Twitter, why not have a local network?

Google offers public SVN repos for any group willing to allow the source to be public. Might it be possible to get people going on this? It really would be a valuable addition to the regionals.
