i didnt really want to post, but itll give geoff something to think about.

As to range of the transmitter, it is not a part of the tech check, it never has been tested, and to my knowledge nobody else before today has asked that it be, except when I brought it up after the DRG event I went to, but that was last year, so prob forgotten all about by now.

The rules do not say it, but basically you should have complete and reliable control of the robot at all times while switched on, and if not, the robot should sit quietly in failsafe mode. If it doesnt you should not have got through tech chech.

tech checks are a simple, yet very complicated affair, so do your best, but be prepared to fail first time. Event organisers are usually very good and will try to let you run as long as your robot is not made dangerous by the failure, and as long as you fix it for next time.

In short, dont worry too much, just show up with the best prepared robot you ca, and dont feel bad if you missed something, it doesnt neccessarily mean a wasted trip.
