Re: Antenna position

Quote:
I know that the antenna needs to be in near vertical position in any playing position, but does anybody know if the antenna needs to be near vertical in starting position?
That would be good, given that the radio system is running the whole time your robot is on. However, I wouldn't lose too much sleep over it. I'm not an expert, but I don't think I've ever seen a radio cut out because the antenna wasn't vertical.
