Re: D-Link

I'd like to amend what Don said. If you don't connect it correctly you _should_ fail inspection, however don't use that as a failsafe of "oh, well if it's wrong inspection will catch it and tell us how to fix it". Many teams have competed with improperly wired D-Link radios. The reason there is a specific way to wire the D-Link is because if it is wired improperly it could turn off during a match and take (on the Rev. A) 50 seconds to turn back on.

tl;dr Be sure to look at the wiring rules so you don't disconnect for 50 seconds of a match.
