As soon as I get ten NXTs handy, I'll be sure to test this. In fact, I may know
somebody who could test this (or at least I can think of a place, NI Week, where
I might). Very odd.

Try this. Establish five pairs, and then establoish a sixth pair in a different
location (a couple of buildings down the way, or a few floors/rooms away, etc.
Now with this sixth pair set up in a "clean" environment, walk them back to the
group room with five pairs already active and see what happens.

I've used BT remote control in environments with simply hideous numbers of BT
devices running around (NI Week last year... it took something like 10 or 15
minutes to search out all the visible devices IMS), and experienced no problem.
Still, I can't claim experience with 10+ simultaneous NXTs.

(...) Sounds like a great way to test. We could probably try the experiment tomorrow. At the moment, the 10 boys in this week's class are more inclined to play "grab the flag" using automonous robots than BT Remote Control. We experienced the 5 pair (...)

(...) Strange indeed, But, that's what we experienced. I have faith that more than 5 pairs can communicate all at the same time. On the other hand, maybe we used up all the channels. Perhaps like in RC airplanes, we ran out of crystals. (17 years ago, 11-Jul-07, to lugnet.robotics.nxt)
