Re: Mounting of router

Couple of things. For the Arena personnel being able to see your router makes it easier to diagnose why your robot won't connect to the field. Also, we in the past have made the mistake of mounting our router low down in our robot...Invariably this made it so that our robot would not connect to the field, or would connect, only to lose connection mid match. The robot itself provides interference making it difficult to maintain a connection, especially in a noisy environment. As a result we decided to always mount the radio higher up on the robot and out in the open if at all possible.

Hope this helps.
