Frequencies / ant weights

I am not planning on restricting antweights to the four frequencies, but making sure that they have 4 frequencies which will always be available to use.
In addition to any which are available when required.

The only time we normally ban the use of adjacent frequencies is while we are in the process of tech checking robots in the pits as this is the most dangerous part of an event.
Once robots are inside arenas, then frequencies return to normal, unless there are interference problems occurring.

Hope this clarifies things.

The frequencies will be posted in the next few days once I have been through the latest frequency information which has been submitted to me.

Remember, the main reason for this, is not to hinder the ants, but to try and find a way of getting them running all day at our shows as we want to make a big feature of them throughout our winter tour, with very large screens and projectors on the arena throughout the day, should be a great opportunity for you.

That sounds very positive but I was definitely told several times at the feather weight smash that I couldnt have my frequency as an adjacent one was in use in either the present or next feather weight battle. If we can use adjacent channels that should really help solve most of the problems. If frequencies are made available I will certainly make the effort to get some new crystals. Sorry to keep harping on about this but as this seemed to be the only problem area in an otherwise very smooth operation I believe its worth getting it sorted.

Frequency list has been updated. http://www.ukinnovations.co.uk/freqtable.htmhttp://www.ukinnovations.co.uk/freqtable.htm


Two frequencies will now be allocated for permanent use for ANTWEIGHTS ONLY where we are involved in the event, taking immediate effect, with the first trial at Debenem.

They are 40.765 and 40.805.

They will be available throughout the event for antweights only, after all tech checks have been completed.

Other frequencies may be used, however preference may be given to other weight classes first.

We will try this and see if it works, and if anyone has any suggestions after it has been used, then email me direct of speak to me at the event.

is it possible to move G3 to 665? as its currently using the same frequency as Merlin, which could cause problems at events, swapping over the xtals between robots and also messing TX control around.

Done

me again noticed that hades is on 865, we dont have 865! we have;

665-g3
675-merlin
685-free
725-chroma
855-alpha

so they only other free one we have is 685, which theres already lots of people on. Ill see about getting another set of xtals.
