I highly doubt it's encrypted... why would it be? Teams gain nothing from somehow monitoring it.. And how many teams would actually have a chance to? It requires access to the field, when it's fully set up and running.

Although, the fact that the Master processor is now communcating with the radio and arena controller may have something to do with it.. but this would have shown up last year if this were the case.

Does anyone know if the master processor was upgraded too? Or is it still an 8520? If its the 8772, why haven't we seen another release of the firmware after the new IFI libraries were released?

I somehow doubt that the user processor is at fault here.. so the linker script is worthless.
