In order for your ROBOT to function on the FRC competition field, each team must program their ROBOT radio with their team’s specific WPA encryption key, provided at the event.
With much thanks to James Kiefer, there will be an automated process available at each event for programming the WGA600N unit. The encryption tool developed by Mr. Kiefer only requires the team to plug their radio into the kiosk and enter their team number. This tool eliminates the need for the majority of teams to have, or even know, their WPA encryption key.
If a team is using the alternate radio, WET610N, they must manually program the radio. Instructions for programming the WET610N, Configuring the WET610N, Rev 0, are available on the FIRST website under “Section 9 – The Tournament.”James is an alum of Team 47 (now 51) and a poster on CD. (I believe he was the one who created the safety glasses smilies.) He developed this system for use in MI last year. Great job!

I think his system was also used at the Championship event last year, as well as a handful of offseason events. Thank you James =D
