A possible option to consider -- mount the OI on the robot, directly tethered, so it is receiving the information it wants. Then look for a Wi-Fi adapter to connect to the serial port of the RC. I recall seeing one when I was considering a similar project, but I don't remember where. That way you have your video feed and control all through the network. As mentioned before, definitely include a failsafe so a dropped packet will disable the robot.
