Re: does anyone have OI and RC radio issues

We did cell phone tests tonight. BINGO! Make or recieve a call within 30 feet of the bot and it starts glitching bad (this distance may be greater but I was on the phone and walked away from it and it seemed to get better after I was in the next room). Then also just hold it near the bot (while not in use) and every 15 seconds or so it starts fluttering.
So whats the answer, ban cell phones from the competitions? Can someone get IFI to read this thread? Someone said if it is a cell phone issue, you can't fix it. Which I gather those frequencies can't be altered out of that range? I contacted the FIRST Florida rep (Charles Kennedy), and he's waiting to hear back from FIRST. The way I see it, this is a bigger issue than the banebot problem because we all need to use these radios.
