Re: Spotty Radio Communications!
We can't recreate the problem with a tether. Everything is rock solid using a tether.

After we switched to channel 1, the frequency of the red radio light blips went down. It's now possible to run a 2:15 match, and have it only happen maybe once or twice.

It's not a debounce issue. We've printf'ed the OI variables, and they too are rock solid.

What's happening is when the radio modem light blips red, the robot becomes disabled for a fraction of a second causing our Spikes to go idle momentarily.

My wild guess is the 900MHz frequency might be noisy in our school(s). I wouldn't know how to check that though.
