Which wireless device.

Hello,
I would like to build a quiz bowl system like this, but do it wireless.

So my question is which wireless spec?

  1. WiFi
  2. Xbee
  3. Bluetooth

Leaning towards 1 and 2. Bluetooth seems too unreliable.
Thanks in advance.

Here is my thinking...Cat5/telephone from pickle switches to a team box.
Team box WiFI to the Central control box.

5 pickle switches max to the team box. Plugged into a rj45 jack on the team box. That way the system would be more modular. Add as many team boxes as needed.

Thoughts???

Ahhh I see your point with the latency issue. I was vaguely kicking that around-- how to handle that in the back of mind....I was thinking of latching the signal but your right...it is all dependent on when the signal is sent via WiFi and as you say...not real time.

Thanks for the input....better to hammer this out now than later!
