This is not a radio issue as to another team being on the same channel and operating your robot. IFI has a failsafe type design where if the RC is receiving multiple feeds of data the RC will lockup and just go into disable mode. Now I don't know how the multiple robots were being controlled at the Peachtree Scrimmage (if it was a homemade arena controller setup or just all on their own with radios) but at the UTC Scrimmage with the FIRST field, we didn't seem to experience this issue of teams resetting or having pneumatics firing on their own.
