Re: Running Multiple FRC 2011 Robots at the Same Time

The multiple networks are probably all trying to operate on the same channels and interfering with one another.
If using AutoChannel, then try staggering the booting of the robots. Let one get established and broadcasting and the next AP turned on will try to avoid using the first robot's already busy channel.

You can force each AP to start with different channels.
One team can stay at the default and just change the others.

Or you can try putting some on 5GHz and others at 2.4GHz if the driver stations are capable of that.
