Re: Multiple Robots, Please Help
2 pins need to be jumped on the OI for you to be able to change the channel, they are pins 12 and pin 8 I believe. This info is from an old IFI OI manual:

Connect pin 12 to pin 8 to provide additional channel access.

You can do this with a DB-15 connector and backshell or through other means.

That connection no longer needed on 2005+ OIs. However your OI for 2005 bot might actually have a 2004 or older OI (by some mixup) so the connection would be needed. Check the year of the OI by the looking at the sticker on the top of the OI.

Also have you tried to change channel on your new 2008 OI by setting the MSB bit of team number? (no reason 2008 has to be on channel 40)
