[Joe Johnson]

I don't want to hijack this thread, but I have heard usually reliable sources say that sending pictures back to the Classmate (or whatever Win7 Machine you use on your driver station) is a bad idea.

The gist of their argument is that nearby the wifi is up to the task but from across the field with other robots all talking too, the frame rate drops to the low single digits (3-4 fps).

This is the kind of thing that scares me to death because I can't know that it is a problem until we get to an actual competition.

So... ...should I worry about the 10,000 other problems I have to worry about or should I continue to worry about this one (and perhaps decide that I don't really want to send the camera data to the remote Win7 Machine after all)?

Do tell.
