Re: does anyone have OI and RC radio issues

Alot of people are commenting on Cell Phones causing problems with the radios.

I really don't know what they think is gonna happen when they throw 6 robots on the field on flaky wireless connections in a hockey arena full of people with cell phones. Seems like asking for trouble. Our 07 radios seemed to work sort of, but the latency is even an issue. The pre-07 radios were awesome, and I still want to know why we changed. You say they couldn't build another 1300 of them... why not? These are far less reliable, MORE difficult to mount (what was that about equivalent technologies getting SMALLER as time goes on?). I think that the problem is very few teams actually assemble and test their controls in an environment similar to competition, BEFORE the week before ship. THIS is the problem. If this had been construed to IFI they might have been able to fix the situation, or tell FIRST to allow pre-07 radios. I know 1075 has 3 different sets of pre07 radios, and they're all infinitely better than these. We've been testing with 06 radios... supposed to put 07 ones back on it today. Mounting them as good as is possible may still not be enough... there's no way we can mount them 6-8" from any metal.
