Re: Feedback Thread: Robot Control System

Does anyone know if the radios were all set to the same wifi channel for the FMS? I'm assuming so because then each of the robot radios would then associate with a single access point. With 6 robots on the field, even one of the 20MHz wide 802.11n channels would start to get pretty congested.

That being said, there are several dual-band access points that permit simultaneous 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz access. Is there a way to partition the robots such at we try to split up the use of the frequencies? Or at a minimum, use multiple access points on 6 different channels going into a switch such that the odds of having 6 robots on the field that all had the same channels would be minimized? Just trying to reduce congestion in the frequency bands so we're not stepping on ourselves during a match.

HTH,

Mike
