Re: Update 6 is out

Actually, there is a big update. Please, use your tether. Don't use your radios. If you lose control of your robot, your disable switch does not work until your controller reconnects with your OI, which can take several seconds.

If the RC is intermittently missing data packets, the run-on can be extended to a few seconds. An example would be where the Robot may be running at a maximum speed when missing data occurs resulting in the Robot continuing to run at maximum speed for a few seconds. We recommend Tethering for your prototyping until this issue is corrected.
