There are (at least) two different types of radio modems. One pair is used for communication between the Robot Controller and the Operator Interface. The other pair, which I believe is labeled "Ewave Screamer," is used for remote programming and debugging. If your radios say "Ewave Screamer" rather than "Innovation First" in big white letters, you probably have the wrong radio.

That's the only potential problem that I can think of at the moment from what you've said...good luck!


ewave used to make the radios for innovation first and the programing was just an extra feture but i am almost positive that they still worked as regular radios....


on a side note innovation first bought out ewave because they were not happy with the quality control of the product so it is possible that they radios are just bad...try asking the team you got them from for another set the ones from 02 and 03 should work the same
