in short that special packet you want to send would just be drowned out.
now what they could do is make the recievers dual band(75mhz and 900mhz) and have the field transmitters be one and the teams be another, but thats just over complicating things.

There still wouldn't be enough channels to allow everyone that's not in a round to run their robot via the radio.
If you just want to sit in you pit and test your robot, use a tether cable. If you're on a practice field and want to drive around a far easier solution than making switching to dual band radios would be to buy a long tether cable from sandrag (
