One for each robot, and one for a field controller for each robot.
Unless I am mistaken. I am think along these lines. Where the IFI OI, RC, and radio pack is defined as:

24. A method for controlling a robot competition within an arena having a plurality of robots engaged in competition therein, said method comprising:installing at least one device for engagement by contestants of the robot competition; allocating, by the at least one device, a plurality of channels for communication of signals to the robots during the robot competition; assigning a unique channel to each contestant engaging the at least one device; and conducting the robot competition with the engaged contestants.
25. The method according to claim 24, wherein the at least one device is an arena controller

Or would it be 7, One for each robot, and one for 1 field controller for everyone.
