Re: Internet at Competitions

I'll admit I didn't have time to read every single reply so this was probably said before but...setting up a WiFi network can and will interfere with field-robot communitcations, but I also see the use of having access to wireless communications (notice I say "wireless communications" NOT "WiFi") in the pit/stands. Bluetooth is a perfectly good option, also, a small server/file sharing system, with a router running at a distinctly different frequently from ALL field communications could work, but Bluetooth seems to be the better option by far as to not creating interference. I am not aware of any FRC rules pertaining to Bluetooth use but I have not read the entire rule book.
