I was down on the floor at Einstein, and I pulled out my wifi scanner during one of the speeches. I don't remember what the 2.4 spectrum looked like, but 5GHz was completely clear with the exception of the Einstein field. However, I was surprised to find that all 6 robot networks are run on the same channel. Perhaps the router they use isn't capable of running over multiple channels.
