This is an attempt to build a remote start system for Student Robotics style robotics competitions.

Essentially, we are building a reliable wireless link between the competition control and our robots in the arena. This will allow us to remotely tell the robots when the start of a match is, and thus start the student code at that time.

This project is using the NRF52840 Dongle, a small, low-cost USB dongle that supports a number of low-power 2.4GHz communications protocols.

The aim of this project is to use 6LoWPAN and RPL to build a 2.4GHz mesh network within the arena. Using a mesh network allows us to account for loss from interference in the vicinity (e.g WiFi, although the effect is diminished if we choose the correct channel)

This project is currently in a research-phase.
