Re: [FTC]: Samantha? Like it or hate it?

Technically the FTC_Field is supposed to be password protected and each Samantha module is "programmed" with the correct password to connect to the secured FTC_Field network. This is done during software inspection. So, if a robot hasn't passed software inspection, it won't have the configuration file to allow the Samantha to connect to the right network.

Yes, somebody could still have a rouge FTC_Field network in the stand, but any robot that has been inspected would only connect to the correct wifi network.

This doesn't mean that somebody cannot "play" the system and use it to their advantage. I am not going into details into some of the scenarios that my FTA has shared with me.
