Here's my post about something else but it includes links to MaxStream's website... who makes i might add the awesomest FCC legal radios you can buy....

Ditto on the MaxStream stuff. I've been using their tiny little XBee ZigBee/802.15.4 to do wireless TTL via an FTDI serial USB to TTL chip. (Not for FIRST stuff, but it could work.) Amazing little things...I picked a signal five floors above the transmitter. More devolopment required than the XTend radios, though - you would need to make your own circuit board for them. But for $19/$32 depending on the trasmit power, they are cheap enough to play with.
