Re: The communication tides are shifting...

I do have to say a few small points, for what little it is worth. I worked as a Robot Inspector at both Virginia and North Carolina, and at the latter we had one particular culprit, that while it was a brilliant system, the implimentation to begin with was causing lag.

We were looking at the FMS data in realtime and interfacing with the teams to help solve problems (to my knowledge every issue we had was either related to robot code, low batteries due to the power shutdown during the night, and a few lose connections... no FMS issues). The one team that was initially causing lag had three cameras streaming at an extremely high refresh rate. They toned it down to an acceptable rate as soon as they were informed it was causing lag not only with their bot, but with other robots on the field.

These bandwidth issues seemed to cause lag, not any kind of complete and total interference with a single robot (ie. Red1). Feel free to correct me at any point in time, but those were my observations from behind the Pilot's seat.
