The thread you are looking for is http://www.chiefdelphi.com/forums/sh...ad.php?t=31931

However, (1) you can not program the robot with a SMiRF and, more importantly, (2) use of any RF transmitter on the robot or OI during competitions is illegal under this year's rules.

We did purchase a SMiRF and we are using it for code development. It's cool! However, we will not be bringing same to our competitions.
