I can confirm that this approach would work perfectly.
My son was moving off to college and didn't want to spend the ~$100 needed to buy a gaming adapter for his X-Box360. I was already running two Linksys WRT54g routers in home, both re-flashed with dd-wrt . One was configured as a standard wireless router, the other as a Repeater-Bridge in my garage. We re-configured the second unit as a client-bridge and Bingo, for $65 we had a fully functional, stable (and signal boosted) gaming adapter.
Now, would I recommend this for a robot?? You bet! Just make sure you understand what you are doing.
