Re: Changeing the Channel

On the 2005 and later systems, the team number has to be set greater than 2048 in order to enable alternate channels. In your case, it might be most convenient just to flip the leftmost switch on the OI and use team number 3045 for the other (older?) robot. You will have to use the tether cable in order to get the number transferred to the robot.

Once you have the team number changed, use the channel select switches to choose the other channel. Here's the key:

Code:
1  2   3   4  Channel
X  ON  ON  ON  04
X  ON  ON OFF  13
X  ON OFF  ON  22
X  ON OFF OFF  31
X OFF  ON  ON  40
X OFF  ON OFF  01
X OFF OFF  ON  40
X OFF OFF OFF  40
A couple of weeks ago, we had no fewer than four of our robots running around simultaneously, all on separate channels.
