Re: [FTC]: Short USB cables for Samantha Module

I think reliability is the key.

I belive the majority of teams had issues with the 1 computer controlling all 4 bots through bluetooth, which mandated the switch to 1 laptop per robot. I also agree with Phil that hauling around your laptop all day presented it's own set of problems.

There is a long list of matches lost due to connectivity issues and hopefully the Samanthe WiFi module will give teams a reliable solution.

Its always more fun when the students and robots determine the outcome of matches rather than the infrastructure of the game itself.
