BTW, for competition, your laptop needs to be wired into a router, which communicates over WiFi to the robot. In the shop, you can take shortcuts and use WiFi directly to the robot's radio or tether directly to the robot's radio. The key is that you need to form a network link with the robot.

See the other threads for how to get camera images to the laptop. Once you process the image on the laptop, you'll need code in your dashboard to establish a socket connection to code in your robot that establishes a socket connection. Check out msdn.microsoft.com for samples on network programming.

Once you have your own connection, you can send commands from the dashboard to the robot. The commands can be anything you want.
