Surprisingly, last year was the first time I had ever run into this
situation.  Plus, I am pretty hard-nosed about computers in the competition
area.

Generally, other teams have written an NXT program to do their calibration
and they must have set a variable that could be used by the program using
the sensor.

I suggest you contact your tournament to see if some accomodation can be
reached to allow computer use for calibration outside the time of the robot
rounds, e.g. first thing in the morning.
