Practice field at regionals??

[Abrakadabra]

Proably the more important question would be if the Regional will have a Wifi setup on the practice field.

At BAE early yesterday, there was no Wifi on the practice field, and we had to wrangle around a large length of CAT5, that we had fortunately thought to bring. Other teams weren't so lucky, and had to beg and borrow.

So today we were surprised when we showed up at the practice field again, to find they were conveniently providing a wireless router and game adapter (that you just swapped out on your robot. Made it much nicer for practice.

I imagine that at later regionals this will more likely be the standard practice, unless perhaps the practice field is relative close to the real playing field. There is still some concern about Wifi interference, and today at competition it almost became a mantra to:
1. Keep your robot off at all times while in queuing and while taking the field.
2. Power up your driver station and make sure you have the field connection, and..
3. Then, and only then, power up your robot.

There seem to still be some issues with interference from additional powered robots in the field vicinity.
