Re: Inter-robot communcation
If FIRST were to provide a server implementations and simple API for each of the cRIOs (with plenty of checks in place to limit maximum messaging rates), there would be some intriguing possibilities. Ultimately, though, I doubt that wireless inter-robot communications will ever be a part of the game because it would put teams who can't afford to build multiple robots (or who can't practice with many other teams during build) at an enormous disadvantage - they wouldn't be able to even experiment robot communication until their practice day.
