@ajlapp - Was looking around on the site and looks interesting, do you have a document that explains how it is setup?
No specific document exists at this time, sorry. The source code for both the robot side and operator side is available at the link previously provided.

In general each side of this system has an Arduino and an Ethernet shield. We used Asus routers to communicate.

Everything we use in the system is open-source and available in various libraries.

For the linked project we chose to have an Arduino on the operator side for portability, but this isn't necessary. We typically build these setups with just a laptop on the driver side.

In the very near future this system will be available in a low-cost consumer ready package. It's very cool and very open.
