Has anybody ever tried using a 3rd party radio modem attached to the program port for uploading code and debugging?

how about rs232->802.11 converters? I have used rs232->ethernet converters on automation projects before. surely someone makes a wifi version. I suppose i could always tie an rs232->ethernet converter to a ethernet->wifi converter but thats bulky. If i went this route i would need to find software to take a TCP connection and make it look like a serial port in windows if i wanted to use IFI loader. It would be really cool to be able to access our robot wirelessly from any computer in our lab.

if rs232->802.11 is impracal then a pair of transparent radio modems would be great.

I'm hoping for a solution <$200.

BTW this is not for competition use, so don't bother telling me its not legal.
