Actually, i spoke with an engineer form Innovation FIRST about this very issue. He stated that the hardware is capable of much greater distance, and can be easilly modified to accomodate a greater distance. However, they "dumb down" the technology for the FIRST and other competitions.

Call up IF, and ask for a wiring diagram. I am sure they will help!
