Go to Post Patents are an issue of law which, alas, has little to do with engineering or common sense. - Mike Betts [more]

What happens if you lose a sensor and the robot starts spinning in place at top speed or takes off down the hall? What happens if you have a stroke and fall forward on the joystick? What if the connection is laggy and you have choppy video and can only control the robot in 1/2 second intervals? (That's happened in matches on FRC fields.) Have you disabled those "annoying" MotorSafetyHelpers that kill motors if you don't command them often enough? What about the Watchdog?

What's so important that you want to risk damaging people and property by driving a robot you can't see or stop effectively? The things are dangerous enough when you're watching them from 5 feet away.
Our robot only runs after hours and this would be on the schools track, not inside, but the track has multiple wifi repeaters. I'm looking at severe circumstances to train autonomous and refine it. It will eventually be able to navigate through a mapped out model of the real world (this is for off season, but the networking would be cool to set up now).
