In almost all cases, the racer came too close to the Timing Zone while on another part of the course. Try one or more of these options:
Use a this special mode to get instant LED feedback on when you enter the Timing Zone. This is great to confirm your calibration and setup before a race.
Walk away from the RaceTracker and then towards it. When you enter the timing zone, the RaceTracker lights will glow steady. Walk out of it and the lights will animate again. You can now approach the RaceTracker from several angles and observe it's behavior.
Now there is one more thing that makes this even more "interesting". When you calibrate to set the Timing Zone, you are doing that with one quad, say 25mW. What if a rouge racer has a high power transmitter? Effectively the timing zone just got bigger for that one pilot because their more powerful transmitter will be detected by the RaceTracker sooner. (Their timing zone is bigger).
How much of an issue is this? We don't have hard test data on this, but we would love to hear your experience so we can help other pilots. Just email support@dronesquad.com.
