Re: Number of monitors/computers at Driver Station
I believe you'd be limited by the fact that there is only a single 120v outlet, reserved for the Classmate PC. Although I haven't seen anything specifically prohibiting the use of multiple monitors.. so if you can figure out how to power it the you should be able to use it. Does anybody know if we're allowed to use batteries on the driver station to power additional electronics? Or can we run the classmate off of battery power and use the 120v socket for additional electronics??

I believe I saw a team in the past who put a large touch screen on their driver station in addition to the classmate PC...
