Just to elaborate, the problem we've seen is that while someone else cannot directly control your robot (because of the team number protection), another signal on the same channel can interfere with your signal by corrupting some of the bits in the datastream. We've seen direct evidence of this at Motorola when we had last years robot powered up on the same channel (but with a different team number). In our case it usually shows up as a "twitching" of the drive modules which can certainly be dangerous. The combination of the team number and the checksum that the robot controller does provides very good protection (it's light years ahead of the old RNets) but it's not 100% foolproof.
