Has anyone had ANY problems with their radio connection this year?
We have no zero problems.
I am really glad to say goodbye to those RNets.
While they were probably good for what some applications, they were not particularly suited to controlling lots of robots in one location.
We are much happier with the Innovation First system.
Anyway, to address your point, I would be surprised to find that a local page network had any effect on the radios we are using unless they pager's sender unit was using the exact same frequency band AND the sender unit was nearer to the field than the sender units for the game field. Even then, I would not expect anything other than a loss of signal to occur, certainly not an insane robot.
