Well, i just thought going from ethernet shield plugs into a router (on the rover) which is connected back to my home router would be a good cost-effective solution.  With things like Xbee or Zigbee that run 40 bucks a piece for decent ranges, and you need two, plus a adapter its just too much.

Hello friends!  I'm trying to build a little rover, and i want to use two motors for the main drive train.  So i figured i could use a decent sized small motor with the L298 dual-H-bridge, but i still want to control the bot wirelessly.  Do i have enough room on the arduino uno for a ethernet shield too?  Thanks for your time and responses!

I was working on a robotics project, and i need to wirelessly control my little "rover".  Could i use the arduino uno with an Xbee and a motor shield with a wireless IP camera, and control the rover by my computer?  Also what type of Xbee would be needed to stay in range within a mid-sized household?  thanks for your time,  i just started programming.
