Re: How to avoid radio config hell at off-season events?
For our BunnyBots pre-season competition in Portland and outreach events where there are a bunch of robots we just tell every team they need to run in the 5Ghz band either from a laptop with that built in or through a USB network adapter. That means if it works in the shop it will work at the event. BunnyBots has around 24 teams all running at the same time with no issues to speak of.

All this works because BunnyBots doesn't have a central field control system.
