Teams were using both the 2015 and 2014 versions of FRC control system hardware (either cRio or roboRio, connected to the D-Link radios from their respective years). We limited the track's size to ensure the totebots were never more than 100 feet from the driver station laptops, which was within the router's capabilities.
I will note that we attempted to run all 4 totebots at once and had severe interference issues. Rather than spending more time to troubleshoot, we decided to run 2 totebots at once at a maximum (during practice we ran 3 or 4 at once without issue but were concerned about connectivity for the official races).
