Re: 2 questions (programming)
1. When you set the team number using the dip switches, connect the OI to the RC with the red Tether cable. Doing this allows the RC to "know" that the number of the OI that it is supposed to "listen to" has changed.

2. As for the red light on your rc, it could be caused by several things.
-Is the OI on and communicating with the RC?
-Is there a code error?
-Is your battery charged?
-Another thing that could cause this light to be red is a short somewhere in your circuit. (This happened to us earlier). Check all of your connections to be sure that there is no short.
