Re: How should our communication set up

At competition (not at home)...

You will take your DLink to a special WPA kiosk to make the event specific settings. These include setting the switch on the back to Bridge mode, resetting the DLink, hooking it up to the WPA kiosk, and the kiosk will supply a WPA security key unique to each team.

When you return home you will return your DLink to AP mode and remove the WPA security set at competition.

Last year's gaming adaptor is not legal for game play in 2011.

At the event for your match, you will plug your driver station laptop into an ethernet cable at the player station.
The Driver Station application will link up with the Field Management System (FMS), and through a VPN unique to your team the field router ill connect to your robot.
