Are we allowed to have headphones on [human players]
 

I've found that I do much better in shooting when I am listening to my music, and I was wondering, even though I doubt it, but will we be able to wear headphones while we are shooting balls?

FIRST in past years have disallowed the use of portable sound systems and head sets in the drivers station. At all times you must beable to hear the officals if they need to say something to you and also if your aliance wants to say something to you. Plus this could be considered an edge if it was modified into a device that could pickup a broadcast frequency from a radio/walky-talkie device. So in conclusion i cant find a valid rule this year yet in past years they have disallowed it, so i would reccommend your team to post it on the FIRST Q&A board.

There is music playing in the arena, so that might help you, but the cheering, and whether you like the music or not could effect you anyway. Sorry about the headphones.

In 2002 our team was allowed to use headphones for audio input from the robot to the driver, it was all part of our I.D.A.N. system.
