Re: Transciever problems
Yes, you read that correctly... we had some fun at GTR a couple years ago when one of the test drivers got just a little bit excited... the tether cable was screwed in tight to the RC, and as the robot drove away it ripped the tether port almost completely out of the RC.

That left us able to compete, but unable to pre-charge our pneumatics or do any further testing in the pits. Thankfully we got some help from our friends on 1241 and the IFI folks, and were back up and running by the end of the day.

Lesson learned... lesson shared.
