[OCCRA]: OCCRA Competitions require VEX tether cable

Dear Teams,
In order to prevent inadvertent VEX robot operation from stray transmitters,
it is necessary to eliminate any transmission signals from VEX transmitters not participating in active VEX game field activity. For this reason, all VEX robots must use the tether operating cable when in the OCCRA Pit's for practice and
or debugging. I have attached a 07 powerpoint document, copied from the VEX Inventors manual, for your reference. This information was verbally mentioned during the OCCRA kickoff workshop but may not have found it's way to all the students/coaches/mentors.

OCCRA will have an assortment of transmitter crystals with a variety of frequencies, provided at game time, to allow VEX Transmitters to not interfere with each other's operation.
