If this is only to adjust auto-mode settings before the match, is there a reason you can't directly interface the touch screen with the robot itself instead of having to send the data over the wireless link? You could then even have the freedom to use a direct ethernet interface, setting up a server to run on the robot, which your touchscreen device could then connect to over a crossover ethernet cable. Depending on what your purpose was in developing this functionality, you might even be able to create the interface on a laptop instead of having to create your own embedded device.

As a side note, for other suggestions on how to rapidly set autonomous mode parameters, see this thread.

Of course. none of this applies if you need this functionality during matches as well.
