I went to go help my old H.S. Robotics Team and one of the things I did today was test out the 2007 Robot Control System Package - I hooked it up to a 2003 robot using the default program that was already loaded onto the RC and unfortunately they too have bad radios. At first I thought it was a dead battery dropping the communication so we changed the battery and I kept a very sharp eye on it and when it would lose connection the battery registered +12vdc so we eneded up ruling a battery problem and wiring problem right then and there. Next we moved to a secluded room and still had issues and came to the conclusion that it was the modems. I did contact IFI & left a message with the voicemail but I would like to know is there a specific number you guys called other than the ones on IFI's Tech Support Link? The sooner we can get some new radios the better. The only thing I didn't try was the 2006 modems and I am not up to the challenge of dismantling a robot to get to it. One thing I noticed about the Communication Link being lost was that it was happening extremely rapidly no more then 30 secs apart and lasting up to 15 secs without a link. The good part was when the link died so did the robot even though the OI & RC registered as still being connected so thankfully no one was harmed and nothing was damaged.
