: Hmm.
: I suppose that you are correct.
: It is much easier to look on the robot's radio modem and see that the 'receive' light is turning off (once we figured out it was there, after looking for loose battery connections all over the machine), rather than trying to find 'the short' we had in last year's machine that caused random behavior, which, I'm now guessing, was radio interference.

: Adam

Also, the rotating light can serve as an indicator as to if you have a good connection between your operator controls and the robot. The control system onboard shuts down all outputs if it does not have a signal from your controls, which means that the rotating light(if wired correctly - I saw a few in Ypsi that were just on whenever the battery was plugged in) will turn off if your robot loses the signal from your OI.
