Re: does anyone have OI and RC radio issues
We had our practice match yesterday, only about 4-5 robots really moving.

There was at least two of us having the radio problems. It goes like this:

1. Radio modem lights flash rapidly back and forth (Standby and Receive)
2. RC lights flashing wierdly.
3. OI lights flashing wierdly.
4. Lasts about 5-15 seconds not enough time to capture what exactly is happening.
5. It seems what ever the robot controller mode it was in stays in. Yesterday it was in fast forward and went into that radio drop out mode and it stayed fast forward and bot climbed the rack to a 45 degree angle. Didn't know it could do that. VERY DANGEROUS, YOU CAN NOT STOP OR CONTROL ROBOT WHEN IT DOES IT.

Does do it more when cell phones are around.

Needs to be fixed or we will have dangerous situations with robots out of control.
