Once you've decided that <T25> and <T26> aren't restricted to match play, they disallow a heck of a lot of things we all take for granted that have been legal at just about every regional I can think of. Just to belabor the point, here's a brief list of things that I'll be expecting you to leave behind when you enter the ARENA, no matter when that is:
- Pick lists written on whiteboards, paper tablets, etc.
- Pens, pencils, and other writing implements for your illegal paper
- Wagons, robot carts, etc.
- Gloves for lifting robots
- Any special fixturing a team has for safely lifting a robot
- Multimeter for quickly diagnosing any robot problems
- Tools for quickly fixing any robot problems
- Laptop for fixing programs or for the on-field calibration at Champs
- Phones, cameras, etc for recording what's being said during driver meetings
- Cameras for snapping pictures during award ceremonies
- Tools being used by teams that stay behind to help disassemble the field after the regional
I'm sure I'm missing a lot of things. If anyone else wants to chip in "special equipment" that teams typically use during awards ceremonies, drivers meetings, or pre/post matches, feel free.
On another note, exactly what was your proposed enforcement method to penalize a team for bringing a camera on field during the Saturday Awards? Revoke their award and assign it to another team on the spot?
Oh, and no pleading that it doesn't apply to awards ceremonies for some reason. You've decided it applies to the ARENA period, with no limit on the timeframe. That's possibly supportable in the text of the rules. You can't support "just MATCHES and ALLIANCE SELECTION" anymore than we could support "just MATCHES". Somewhat less, in fact, since we have precedent and a Q&A ruling on our side.
