Building a Network

We've talked through a lot of items, considerations, and use cases for having a dedicated network at a BEST Robotics event. Lets now look at concretely how this may be achieved. We'll look at 3 network architectures. Its extremely important to understand that, with the exception of the Gizmo FMS network, these are bespoke and purpose built for the events and needs that consume them. Network engineering is not a one-size-fits-all process, and carefully documenting your requirements and approach to solving those requirements are the first steps to success.

Keep this in mind as you review each of the following examples, and review these examples more as ideas than concrete implementations you should try to duplicate.
