Why not let teams stream video if they want to but limit the bandwidth they get. I believe 802.11G has 56Mb/s so if we only gave each team 2Mb/s then the 6 robots would only take up less than 1/4 of the bandwidth (at worst) and FMS would enjoy lots of bandwidth. Then you let teams do with their bandwidth as they choose
