Re: does anyone have OI and RC radio issues

The modem was near the main breaker. We moved it away, but perhaps not far enough. What would you consider a safe distance. We're running four CIMS on modified AM gearbox. Although it's difficult to say for sure, it generally seems to be under power. However, it also happens with the robot on stands, with little load on the motors (free wheeling). Sorry, don't have access to the robot now, so can't provide pics. It's still in the prototype phase (controls screwed to plywood). We'll try moving the modem a greater distance tonight.
