Re: Xbee radios I don't believe there is a way built-in to RobotC to use the XBees to control or communicate with the NXT. But yes, you will need two XBees, and another NXT or write a program on the computer that will use the XBee and communicate with the NXT.

Re: Xbee radios Correct, they are used for robots communicating with each other. From the multi robot communication wiki:
This is one of my favorites topics to teach (hence why I mentioned it during class), and the students really had fun with their programs. One of their favorite things to do was to create a remote control: http://www.robotc.net/firewiki/index.php?title=Main_Page There is a section in the forums on multi robot communication. You can check there for some more information also. |

Re: Xbee radios Bluetooth still works at a respectable distance. It's usually just fine unless your REALLY need to be far away or it's too slow.
