Awesome.

Today we took two of our robots down to a large fair for kids and let them check out the robots. Our smaller robot that was just a chassis was controlled by your app the entire day from my Shield. I wasn't there as I had another robotics thing going on a short distance away, but I heard of no problems with it. Makes it easy for us to do this since we don't have to haul a laptop around, and even has better battery.
