We're in a similar situation. Our radio control seems to come in and out. Our biggest problem right now is a safety issue - the robot at some points stops getting data from the OI (I suppose) and just executes its previous command.

Now, I'll admit that I am not an expert at designing microprocessors, but how is this safe? We need our disable dongle to work to prevent damage to people, property, and robots. IFI talked about this issue in Updates 6 and 8, but as far as we could tell, their beta code didn't help one bit.

Also, if the beta version was released a week and a half ago, why hasn't there been a follow-up? If it works as intended for most teams (i.e. we're an anomaly), why hasn't it been declared a final version? If it doesn't work, why haven't they come out with a new version or at the very least acknowledged the problem?

I'm really puzzled by this. Does anyone have ideas/suggestions on how to fix this problem? We've tried normal and 14 beta master code, default code, the dongle, and switching cables. Any ideas?

Thanks,
Paul
