Each communication packet between the robot and DS is aprox. 1kbyte, and the robot replies once to each message. Then add in dashboard data, which is also 1kbyte, and communication to/from the FMS, again aprox. 1kbyte each direction. All of this communication takes place at 50hz.

Even leaving significant margin for error, by my calculation the total bandwidth required for a robot is less than 0.5mbyte/sec/robot. Or less than 5mbps, which is well below the 11mbps B provides. That calculation has an even larger margin since in most situations the dashboard data and FMS data will not be sent over the wireless link, reducing the required bandwidth by more than half.

That said, latency could potentially become an issue with lower bandwidth signals.
