Wireless USB!

Hello All,

Anyone had a chance to play with the Pololu wixels?

I can't confirm it but it seems like they can do true full-speed wireless USB 2.0. Can anyone else confirm this?

What does this mean for us ARCs?

-Take any Webcam and mount it to your bot, no need for wireless IP cameras and the like -Take any wired joystick and make it wireless -Put sound cards on-board your bot to give you .WAV file output to a speaker on the bot -Wireless USB microphone for remote voice recognition -etc, etc, please suggest more applications if you can think of em':)

In any case if they don't end up being able to do wireless USB we can always fall back to trying this guy

The wixels could replace the bluetooth module since they do wireless serial transmission but I'm not sure why you'd use them over bluetooth since they have approx the same range.
