Re: Robot comm in noisy public locations

The most telling metric is that in the 3000 second log, your robot was system-watchdog disabled 2750 times. If at all possible, I'd switch to 5Ghz, and/or look into using a different router. The charts tab will give you a pretty good indiation of when you should just cable it.

For the NIWeek demo, team 2468 just left it tethered. 4000 nerds in the audience at a convention center is not a good time to give 2.4 wifi a try. They accidentally estopped their robot when waking up the screen saver, but recovered, scored, and then shot a water bottle of of the head of a VP. Way cool.
