Re: does anyone have OI and RC radio issues

The IFI guy at the NJ Regional (Rick) had each team informed to bring their radios to a secluded room at the arena and he would flash the RC Radios with new software. The process took all of about 5 minutes to complete. While the update made the radios work a bit more better, it also made the location of the radios in teams robots seem more of the problem and a few teams had to re-locate the radios so there were no more problems with data packet loss. All in all once all the RC Radios were upgraded and the RC's upgraded to v15 there were little to no problems with the robots working on the field. You still had interference while working off the tether and no interference on the tether but thats to be expected while working in a room down the hall, at a practice field or in the pits.
