: 3. Somebody told us that the radios MAY get better reception if the transmitter antenna has the same orientation as the receiver antenna. I have no idea if this is actually true, but I thought I would pass it on...


This is true, we had problems with our bot losing signal and jumping in the pits. It happened when we were getting inspected that the judge asked if we could turn the light off, and it kind of jumped at that point. When we moved the antennas so they were both pointed upwards, things worked out well. Also The interfernce from other radio modems around adds to this problem.
