I gotta point out that school yards are a popular place for people to fly inexpensive RC aircraft, esp electric or gliders

and if you use your edu bot at school, with an aircraft channel, there is the risk of causing someones model aircraft to crash.

It looks like they came to the conclusion that its cheaper for the teams to buy an inexpensive hobbie R/C system that it was to build them into the EDU robot controller - and its obviously less expensive to use a hobbie transmitter than to use the operator interface that we used last year.

If you are going to buy an hobbie R/C system, please make sure its for ground use, not for aircraft.
