with a just a couple of gadgeteer motor controllers, and a 7.2V sub C battery pack?

the link says the product is not available…

My aim is to say to it: ‘go and find zoiberg’, and it should hunt around the room, find the mini zoiberg and run it over (or grab it depending). Picked up a couple of motor controlls, a usb battery charger, compas, and a few other odds and ends.

Trying to connect in adhoc mode. Thought I spotted a page a while back that said that looked like the wifi would support creating an adhoc network. Prefer not to use bluetooth.
