- Event mode by @erinharrington-12 in kipr/botui#144
- Desired use case is in large events that have many AP signals being broadcast by Wombats
- Disables WiFi broadcasting to unclog WiFi bands/channels
- Enables only Ethernet connection between Wombat and computer
- Toggle switch for Event Mode in About page
- When activated, Home page gets a different background to determine visually if Wombat is Event Mode
- All other pages have a small "Event Mode Enabled" label at the bottom of each page

- V31.0.0 Wombat Update by @erinharrington-12 in kipr/botui#146
- Removed Create 3 usage as Creates are no longer used in Botball (starting 2025 season)
- Raspberry Pi type used (3B or 3B+) displayed on About page
- Wired Ethernet Connection
- Enables direct wired connection between Wombat and computer
- New IP to type in URL is 192.168.124.1:8888 to access IDE
- Dynamic WiFi Balancing
- Wombats with Raspberry Pi 3B+ can now flip between 2.4 GHz WiFi channel and 5 GHz
- Toggle to do so is on Network page (Settings/Advanced/Network)
- Wombats with Raspberry Pi 3B can only use 2.4 GHz WiFi channel
- On each boot-up, the dynamicChannelSwitch.sh script will run
- Script determines the AP spread on 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz bands and channels, finds the channel with the least amount of APs, and modifies the Wombat's AP connection accordingly
- USB vs. Online Update
- Update page now has 2 ways to update Wombat: USB or Online (Ethernet)
- USB looks for a .zip file named wombat-os-##.#.# (version number) in root folder of USB
- Online requires direct Ethernet connection between Wombat and an internet source
Notes
- For USB updates
- Versions <= 30.3.0 require the .zip to be extracted into root folder of USB so it's just a folder, not a .zip file
- Versions >= 31.0.0 only need the .zip file
