Looks nice! One thing I notice is you are using the new router instead of the old one. That's fine, it just means you won't be able to test the bot till after kickoff because FIRST said they won't be releasing the firmware until then.

Do these instructions not allow you to use it?

The default firmware for the new router works fine for home use.
You just have to follow the directions at AndyMark that Josh linked in order to download and install it.
It's just an AP like any other.
I've been using one from AndyMark, as well as our beta testing version.

The frc specific firmware is just required for competition.

That's weird, since we were able to download the firmware onto the new radio. It came with a link to download and install new firmware.

Oh, my bad. I saw they said they won't be releasing the firmware and I assumed that meant for both home and competition use.
