Re: Inter-robot communcation

It has been a hope (for some folks in First) to be able to use wireless to communicate between robots for a few years now. I remember it being discussed in a few different venues and with a few different methods. Modulated IR jumps to mind as one possibility. Certainly the wireless networking could be used, but a data storm from an errant robot could bring down a match. Under controlled conditions it could prove very cool during auto.
