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.

As others have pointed out, the various SMiRFs won't allow you to program the 'bot remotely. They will, however, make debugging of a moving 'bot much easier. I've used a pair of SMiRFs to remotely tweak the camera software via the menus and it works well.
