Hi,
Just received a new airlift bitsy add on but noticed the metal antenna is missing on mine. All I have is the green pcb underneath. Tutorial says take care of the fragile antenna but mine has none. Nothing mentioned in production description about a design change. I presume this is a faulty item?
Defective antenna?

Re: Defective antenna?
Let's replace this unit. The only warning I saw was about how fragile the antenna is so it must have been lost in the assembly/shipping process.
