Well, that's because it's not hex . It's our team # in base-13, where 9*6 really is 42.

We faced that problem in a couple of matches. Theoretically, the arm and motor *should* work with only one of the two, but it hasn't been tested yet. I'll pass your suggestion along to our arm team and see what they think. Thanks!
