Re: Vehicle-to-vehicle communication (V2V)
FIRST could allow V2V technology in the existing system. The main thing is it would require a key change in the configuration of the Field WIFI configuration. Right now every team is on their own separate VLAN (as I understand the system). In order to allow V2V, there would have to be packets allowed across the VLANs.

Rebound Rumble would have been able to use this, given the cooperative nature of the bridge balancing (even using opposing alliances). I'm not sure we'll see this, though.
