Hi! Thanks for the reply. (1) If I was using WiFi, I'd definitly put signal boosters on both ends, not just the server end. (2) The robot would be intitialy controlled by me.  However, after I get that all working, I would add a GPS and a few sensors to have it drive itself around. (3) There are some other 2.4 ghz users, but they aren't nearby, so it isn't a problem. (4) The trees here aren't really big ones.  There're basicly large shrubs. (5) To start, there wouldn't be any weapon.  However, I may add one later. I like your idea about splitting up the communications channels.  If it seems like I can't get WiFi to work, I think I'll do that. Just ask if you have any questions.

Hello! Thanks for all the replies. I really appreciate it. I'll try to answer all the questions. (1) There is cellular service. However, it's way to expensive. (2) I don't "need" to use WiFi, any thing that would work is fine. (3) I'd be mostly driving down in sort of a valley. Sometimes there'd be line of sight, but there might be trees in the way sometimes too. (4) Would having one of these products below help: (signal boosters) [link][link] (5) I'd be sending one video stream from the robot, and sometimes an audio stream from and to it. Also, a few other data feeds, such as battery level, MPH. I think I'd need about 150kb/sec. (6) There won't be anyother robots to interfere. (no tournaments or anything) (7) 900mhz with 115kb/sec might work. What product(s) would I use to send the video and commands? (8) I don't think I could get directional antennas to work. Hope this helps. Any other questions, just ask. Thanks! -- robowifi brought to you by [link] ...
