Re: Practice field at regionals??
 
referring to Florida(UCF) last year they were forced to put everything in the main arena. This year, i believe, the pits should be in the old arena, with the playing field in the new arena. I would imagine they would be able to find a place in one or the other to fit even half a field. They are wanting to eventually have 2 fields with about 80 teams so seeing as there are only 53 this year there will be extra room.

In short, I know its inconveient for teams who want to test wirelessly but it's alot safer and alot better for everyone to use the provided tether wherever they are except on the field.
You are correct, but in this instance they were having field troubles / space and communications problems... You can read it on the first forums... So in this case they were given permission. Usually though, I wouldn't try this.

At NJ yesterday our team was having strange problems with the FMS (Field Management System) and the FTA and NI Guy let us remove the encryption from our Gaming Adapter on the Robot to test wirelessly on the practice field.

Kansas City had portions of three practice fields. Most of the practice materials were loaned by teams/schools that had purchased the "Regolith".

Used by teams and spectators alike. Moonrocks were flying everywhere.

We were also a tether everywhere except the actual field.
