Re: Radio Lag / Randomly Dropping Communications

In practice at our school, we did not notice any problems.

We were at a practice site yesterday, and they had problems with the Field Management System, so all the teams switched to wifi direct connect. Most of the teams were experiencing the same problems you mentioned. At first, I thought everyone was saturating the wifi, but the problems persisted when:

1) There were only two bots on the field; and
2) The bot was at the loading station less than 5 feet away from the driver's station.

This evening I will be checking the bot back at our school.
