The LEGO company just released a document detailing the complete protocol used by Power Functions RC receiver.

I host the document on my Power Functions presentation page.


On page 13 it shows the transmit time slots. Giving each channel a unique stagger for repeats certainly helps avoid collisions, but I’m confused as to why they have a transmit hold off. If person A is on channel 1, and person B is on channel 2, they aren’t going to hit the buttons simultaneously anyway, so I don’t see how having a channel specific hold-off does anything useful at all for collision avoidance.
