We had some problems like yours. We recommend you do three things (at least):

1: Download an app on your phone that will show you what wifi channels are being used in your school. Choose a channel that is not being used.

2: Make your wifi connection requires a password. That way you do not get local cell phones randomly connecting all the time.

3: Remember wifi is not magic. It breaks down quickly if it has to go through walls (lots of solid brick/block walls in schools that do not exist at home) or metal (make sure the radio in your robot is not blocked in any direction, 360 in the plane of the field and vertically).


Good luck!
