Dealing with wireless interference from cellphones
We had a high-school assembly today in front of ~1400 people. We tested before hand (in the same venue, just without all the people) and we had no problems.

However, once it filled up, we encountered ridiculous amounts of lag in the communications; rendering the bots unsafe to drive around.

Have any teams had experience with presenting in front of a large group like this? Did you have to buy an external antennae for the driver station?
