Re: Dealing with wireless interference from cellphones
We've had this exact scenario happen to us twice at graduation and I don't have a solution yet. Robot tested in the venue with no problems whatsoever, excellent communication over 150 ft range. As soon as 800 or so people show up, we're dropping packets like crazy and can barely even operate the thing, even at closer (<50ft) range. Operating direct from the Classmate PC.
