Folks,

Maybe I am misunderstanding what you mean; but if you are talking about truly using two fields simultaneously, do the math.

(10 channels) minus (four robots multiplied by up to two channels per robot) = two crystals left for the second field....

Unless you start sorting robots according to the number of crystals they use, you can't plan to simultaneously use two fields consistently under the current FVC rules.

PS: I am assuming that the two fields are close enough to one another (so one audience can see both) for a transmitter on one field to reach a receiver on another field and that their is no intentional shielding installed between/around the fields.
