The results of this test showed that while some pucks appeared to have better RSSI values with plastic off, just about the same showed better results with the plastic on. The results of this test are ambigous and point towards the fact that it doesn’t matter whether the plastic is there or not.
The RSSI AVG ON means the plastic was on, and the RSSI AVG OFF means the plastic was off.
Did the hockey puck have a bottle of goo sitting on it? Does that make any difference?
