Re: FTC Samantha Device
I think the point is that the minibot should be autonomous. The samantha module if I am thinking of the right thing would allow you to control the minibot using the driver station. I also think it could lead to potential interference of controlling other robots...one more signal in a room filled with wifi capable cellphones and robots.

If your using the NXT then you should have a way to trigger it climbing the pole, and then use some sensor to detect when it is at the top of the pole so it can come back down. This of course makes for a heavy minibot...
