: Can anyone tell me what a "Yellow Dongal" is?
The yellow dongle is a home made connector for the COMPETITION port with a couple of switches on it to allow you to cople of things:
you can change the channel from 40 to either 4, 13 22, or 31.
you can disable the 'bot w/o turning any thing off. (VERY useful in an "emergency" situation during debugging) just like the pro's do if you get DQ'd in the match.
Go to
www.innovationfirst.com: chapter (section) 4.5 in the system manual will shed some light. You can figure it out from there.
Your best bet is to ask Joe Johnson directly. He'll probably have a link.
