One thing which we will do the next time is have channel switches to allow running two robots with radios; tethers are okay, but radios are better. We didn't have any incidents, but a master emergency stop would be a good thing to have, at least for peace of mind.
when we found out team 365 had a switch bharat from 25 and myself went and switched all the channel we did have 5 robots running at one point then they all capped corey for team 25 with the robots.

so if you want to run more than 1 bot at a time be sure you can switch channels, tethers arent the best.
