Re: does anyone have OI and RC radio issues

Maynard,
The condition you describe can be a power issue to the OI. Does the modem cut out when the robot is just sitting there or does it cut out when moving? There is also a possibility in antenna location and orientation. Is it possible to take a picture of the modem mounting without sacrificing team secrets? Is the radio mounted near a motor, particularly an FP or Mabuchi? Does the modem cable run near wiring that feeds any motors?
