Our team wants a working robot to test our new code on, and we've got the robot for it, but if we can't use last year's OI, or last years code on a later date, we're less inclined to do it.

Thanks,

Joe,

Your OI must be connected to your RC and both are updated with the new master code.

I know of no reason why you cannot run last year's code on this year's system or vice versa.

However, to compete, you must have this year's Master code loaded into your controller. Using last year's Master code is not an option.
