Re: Wireless Programming
The only time we ever program with a wired connection is either in the Pits or when we are re-imaging the cRIO. We hardly ever have a problem with interference and have never had an issue where we had to re-image the cRIO because of any data corruption.

When this ability first came out I was skeptical and we had some issues then, but there has been a lot of work done to our control system to help make this option (in my eyes) the best option.

EDIT: We've only ever had 1 problem with interference. This was at the St Louis Science Center during a demonstration event. We had 6 FRC teams controlling their robots wireleslly along with many Science Center wireless networks as well. One of the Science Center networks was causing this problem and the next time we did a demo they had it turned off and we didn't have any problems at all.
