Re: WHO THINKS THE IR BOARDS ...OPERATIONAL CHARACTERISTICS LEAVE MUST TO BE DESIRED

My beef with the reverse voltage thing is that 1) a simple diode would have solved the problem, where this is more complicated with the victors, after all, they handle alot more power. and 2) the supplied ribbon cable has a BLACK wire connected to the positive pins, and a GREY wire connected to the negative pins. Needless to say this would be confusing to many teams (including my own), especially those with an electrical team thats learning.
