Re: Competition Radio Interference Solution?
We all know that the IFI Control Systems alows -X- amount of channels to be used by the teams and the rest to be used by the Field Control System. My next quetstion is why can't more channels be added to the current set that already exsists (instead of 40 channels why not make it 80 or more. Is there a reason behind only having 40 channels to use with only 5 / 6 of them to be selected by the team. I know the system is complex already but how about a Tri-Band System with one band for the Pits another for Competition and the last to be used for Team use and then 40 channels for each.
I remember that back in my days of being in H.S. that our robots use to go nuts reguardless of having different channels & team numbers set and no one at the helm, As a matter of fact the robots use to react to Walkie Talkie uses back in my old H.S. (which is why the Walkie Talkies are not allowed at competitions - since robots do tend to stop performing / preform poorly during a match when that device is in use.)
