But seriously though, you shouldn't be doing this unless you have a
very well thought out plan for doing it safely. How are you going to tell where you're going? How are you going to tell what's behind/beside you if you need to turn? How will you know everyone's hands/faces are clear before you launch a ball or whatever? What happens if you lose a sensor and the robot starts spinning in place at top speed or takes off down the hall? What happens if you have a stroke and fall forward on the joystick? What if the connection is laggy and you have choppy video and can only control the robot in 1/2 second intervals? (That's happened in matches on FRC fields.) Have you disabled those "annoying" MotorSafetyHelpers that kill motors if you don't command them often enough? What about the Watchdog?
What's so important that you want to risk damaging people and property by driving a robot you can't see or stop effectively? The things are dangerous enough when you're watching them from 5 feet away.
