Battery blinks green, program function works, radio modem is solid orange, RC hardware blinks green, and RC mode is off. When putting in the modem (yes, into the radio port) and hooking up the OI with the transmitter, the trasmitter says transmitting but the reciever or modem on the robot just says "ready" and periodically blinks to receiving. The OI also says no data/radio. We have downloaded and installed the ifi_frc_beta_3[3] code to the robot controller and from what we can see it wrote (programm was oragne then finished and is now green). Any help? We just want to get this thing to a point where it can be driven with a joystick.

I'm not sure if this is required the first time you set it up, but I know it is to change channels, so I'd assume it would be for this too. In the kit you recieved a red tether cable. Plug this into the slots that say tether on both the OI and RC. Then hit robot reset. Unplug, and have fun with the radios. Also, it's probably worth it to set your team number into the dipswitches on the OI, as you'll need to do that before the competition.
