Re: Texting a coach during a match.
They're pretty lax. Last year at Atlanta as human player I duct taped a video camera (did have bluetooth) to my hat, and nobody had a problem with it. Even if it was obvious, I doubt they would penalize you for it. But texting to get an advantage doesn't really follow the spirit of the rules.

Re: Texting a coach during a match.
I wouldn't be too certain about that one, Homsar66. Last year, I was field reset at an event, and I saw a ref call a penalty on a particular team because a team member was in the lowest level of the stands yelling instructions to the drive team. They find you texting, you'll get a penalty.
There's a big difference between a camera that isn't used for an advantage and a cell phone/texting device that is. If that camera's view had gone to a viewscreen on your controls, you'd have been penalized under 2009's <T23>, which reads the same as the 2010 <T27>. |

That really changes things though. As long as that rule has been in place (most of my 15 years) I would suspect that was an error to remove it in TU #8 and instead expect that the struck out language meant to change to (with the exception of the two previous bullets). Sorry for the confusion but my previous thoughts are unchanged. Texting is a bad idea. |
Re: Texting a coach during a match.
Texting while coaching would be like texting while driving a car, you are probably paying too much attention to texting and not enough on what is going on around you.
