Sorry for the multiple questions, I'm a rookie in a rookie team
Fire up Windows calculator, go to view->scientific and type in your team number, then hit the "Bin" radio button. That's your team number in binary, on the OI is a set of DIP Switches labelled Team Number, I think by default they come all 0, so flip the switches that correspond to the 1s in your binary team number, if you press the mode button on the OI a few times it shows your team number, so you can make sure it's set right, then just tether to the RC, it will automatically program the RCs team number.
