That (if you don't have a faulty board) does not sound good.
Basically what I'm understanding is that when you program it with Remote 1, then pushing anything on Remote number 2 makes all remotes useles???
This doesn't make sense to me.  Please tell me I misunderstood you.
I have a theory if this is indeed what you meant. But I'll hold off on that while you answer this one. |
That is exactly what I meant! I brought out two remotes to test the theory people had on each human player having a remote, so I programmed remote 1 with 4 buttons to use, and remote 2 with no buttons.
So pushing and holding remote 1 makes light 1 blink, and pushing any other button (including other programmed/unprogrammed buttons on remote 1) makes the board completely and totally useless.
With that being said I think the only possible thing this can be used for is for stationary towers on the field to emit signals to the robot (assuming FIRST can arrange said signals to not interfer with one another).
I will test a couple more things and get back to you all!
