I was meaning to try again this year to get some start/stop signals, but got overwhelmed with school and didn't get around to it.

I don't think FIRST will change anything at this point in the season, but if someone wants to work on it for next year, I'd be willing to send them the code I have and help out some. As you have pointed out, the hardest part is working the politics to get the stop/start signals.

How exactly did you try to get the start/stop signals? I know it'd be hard to do that without any official signal from the FMS (which would be uber-nice and make everything easy).

It'd be really nice if the FMS set up a server that teams could plug into if they wished and query for whatever information they wanted - teams, ranking, matches, or current matches.
