Just the RC Radio needs to be bought to IFI. Teams will be notified when they get to pit admin. at their regional where to bring their radios so that IFI can do the upgrade. Your Radio should only be upgraded once by IFI so if it was done already you may not need to do it again unless it is your first regional.

I was using an example. I'm pretty sure teams know to run their robot on the tether cable when in the pits. But just in case their are a few rookies attending event I would throw that little tid-bit in.

You only really ever need 2 things in your tool box: A Hammer to separate things that shouldn't be together, and Duct Tape to put things together that shouldn't be apart. - Dave_222 [more]
