Various sources on the internet say 10 - 15 minutes, as a rough first approximation. Dave might be able to provide a more precise number. So, the delay that the driver would experience would be 20 - 30 minutes, provided there is radio access to the robot. That alone cuts out even more of the day.
Hmm. Now that would make for an interesting game. Delay the packets to the robot and back again by a couple of seconds.
