Look closely on the TTL chip at hte IC where you plug in the PWM cable. On the sides of the IC there are small holes. You slip that part onto the RC. When I first looks at that my face was like this

or this

. So the way it works is that the PWM is connected to the TTL chip like regular, and then u place the chip on its side so it slips onto the TTL port all pretty-like. By the way, when the chip is on that port, it is extremely flimsy and can fall out pretty easily if a robot moves a lot and hits things in a competition. Will FIRST allow us to use electrical tape to tape it down since electrical tape is not allowed to be used as an adhesive?
