I am honored and humbled sir that you showcased Project Magnus. Thank you.
I have a couple of questions for you and the guys:
How would you rate the video quality of the camera that comes in the kit? I will need to steer Magnus when he is out of my line of sight. Is there much delay in the transmission?
Do you have any step by step tutorials coming up (or now) on how to extend the range beyond what Blue Tooth can do? I will need at least 100 ft through maybe a wall or two. Think hidden control booth made from plywood or some such.
Best regards,
Rex
@rgordon - I know that some people on here use something called and xbee for extended distance communication. I am not sure how to hook it up, but other folks a lot smarter than me do.

Optional XBee/Synapse/WiFi Long Distance Communication was mentioned on the info page for the EZ Robot Kit but I have not found a tutorial on it yet. Hoping to hear from someone who has tried this out.
100ft through a wall isn't feasible through WiFi, 100 ft is fine with line of site though. Soon as walls are in the way your looking at 30 to 40 ft depends on the mw output of the unit on your bot , antenna and mw output of your base/router
I will probably stick with XBee. See thread under Project Showcase- Ez-b Project V3.0
