A side from the vague reference to rules that disallow robot to robot communication, does anyone know the actual rule that does not allow this? I am pretty good with rules and regs and do not remember it specifically being against the rules. Infact in the spirit of co-opertition I would think this would be encouraged.

I am proposing an open hardware/software solution for a standardized protocol for sharing information between robots,

While light based applications could technically function the bad part is that they require line of sight to work, the nice thing about the field based network is that it already exists and would require very little effort to make it work.
