My apologies, I was confusing <R68> with <R16>...

Regarding <R68>, I would just insure that the RC is easily visible (don't bury it) from a standing position in front of the robot. "Front" is an arbitrary term here and I agree that multiple starting positions pose unavoidable issues.

Once again, put yourself in the position of the field personnel and do the best that you can.

As I said, it is in your best interests to make it easy for them to help your team...

Regards,

Mike
