Re: WiFi at a week zero event

The 5GHz wifi shouldn't affect the competition because the D-Link AP's use 2.4 during competition. The 2.4G wifi ap's in your gymnasium may possibly interfere with the FMS during competition.

Also doesn't this year's FMS use mDNS so that the roboRIO connects via roborio-####.local and only uses a static IP as a fallback? The routers are configured to assign the RoboRIO a DHCP address (at home use) which I believe can vary should you be using other ethernet devices, such as Axis cameras.

I know thats how we configure them for home use but the competition bridge config may change to set Static IPs. Hopefully FIRST releases some information & if they did we should take a look at the way the FMS connects to the robots.
