The oscillator output should match up with the frequency required by a polaroid distance sensor. Just what you need to automatically fire your pick axe when your opponent.... Ooops, I meant just what you need to latch your grapple when the goal is close enough.

Other pieces which I might guess at- The previous OI was capable of Team #s in excess of 999, it just wouldn't display them correctly. I suspect there is minimal change in functionality with the 'new' OI. We have used the mini-robot controller in our 'other robots' for several competitions. The basic coding is all the same, you are just missing half the outputs and inputs.
