This year field includes a pair of IR Beacons; the Bill of Materials says they are reused from Hot Shot game and are produced by HiTechnic. Well... we are a rookie team, so we didn't paricipate in Hot Shot game - and the products page of HiTechnic ( http://www.hitechnic.com/products ) does not list IR beacons (it lists IR soccer ball, but this is clearly a different thing). So - any ideas on where one can get these beacons?

Has anybody found issues with getting two motors in 4wd geared together (i.e. you have two motors, attached to the same gear train)?

Indeed it is - thanks!
(It was not there when I posted this message)...
Incidentally, I went through the email blasts and can not find the team code required to buy the beacon anywhere in them.. in which email was it?
