Very interesting.

Now I can't wait to hear about the new FRC controller.

Hmm... a wi-fi interface would provide the bandwidth needed to have full-motion video feedback from the robot direct to the controlling computer.

Operators in one room, robots in another... how's that for a challenge.

P.S. As for operating the robot over the internet... build it solid and ship it to the competition. Have someone there charge the battery and put it on the playing field. You stay home and compete in your pyjamas!

That sure would reduce travel costs! Better hope the pipe between you and the venue is a heck of a lot bigger than the one we've been trying to push the NASA feeds through. With the connection I've had in recent years, I figure I could get about five commands through to a robot in 2 minutes, but that would be a good simulation of how the Mars rovers are operated...

VEX RCR Mini Kit would make a great gift for those who have a great love for DIY robotics, and this programming kit features a brand new WiFi control scheme that allows one to work with virtually all VEX robots sans wires. I wonder what kind of covert, clandestine operation one might execute with this kit, but it will be available this August without crossing the 100-dollar mark.


it is very help robotics work for humans
