That's interesting. I didn't consider Windows 10 vs Windows 7 having an impact. I was using my own laptop at first (with Windows 10), and later tested it on our team laptop (Windows 7) when it started working. I thought that it was processing power (my laptop is quite slow, but our team laptop has some decent specs), but maybe there's a bug with how the driver station program works on Windows 10?

Also, for the other replies, I don't have access to our robot or workshop right now, but I will have access on Monday. I'll be sure to check the wiring, and the settings for the OpenMesh. I don't think we're going over the 7mbit limit, but maybe the camera stream is taking up more bandwith than I thought?
