There is a new radio system that IFI is testing...i'm not sure if it will make it in this year or the next, but it would basically be integrated into the RC, eliminating the need for a separate radio on the robot. There is a possbility that the new system would be set up such that you would no longer need to bring an OI radio to the field(integrated with the arena controller perhaps)...
