I would definitely like to have processing power on
both the receiver and the transmitter side. This will coincide
with the other great idea of RF Ethernet because we will now
have an up-link from the robot. This will help drivers 'see'
things from the robot's perspective.

I would like to propose an idea from a technical design
aspect. I think there should be two computers on the receiver
side. The first would be the one we're all talking about: more
memory, lightning fast processor. This computer would be
responsible for the RF Ethernet, all inputs, and the processing
of data. This computer would send it's output to a modified version
of the current receiver, and then out to the motors. This setup
would save FIRST some cash (which gets us a better system) but
would also allow us to use something that we have come accustomed
to. Anybody have any suggestions or comments?
