Some things we found out at the 'Great' Great Lakes Regional:
1. The taped down pipe at the far end of the field was removed after practice day, and it never returned. No announcements were made about it, or whether it is gone for good or just for GLR. FIRST, any comments? My hope is that its gone for good, because all it does is get in the way (my opinion of course)!
2. The time you need to hang after power is shut off is at least 30 seconds. We had a match where this was an issue, and the head referee (who did a good job IMHO) said 30 seconds was the number he was looking for. No public announcements were made about this either.
3. Somebody told us that the radios MAY get better reception if the transmitter antenna has the same orientation as the receiver antenna. I have no idea if this is actually true, but I thought I would pass it on...

Frankly, I love CD and everything it stands for. I've made more friends from this forum alone than I ever expected to meet in FIRST. I'd give just about anything to keep this system up, upgraded and going on long into the future. It's not even enough to show my thanks and gratitude. - BandChick [more]
