Here's why - FIRST has asked teams nicely NOT to use wifi at events as it interferes with the Field. Yes, ticking off the FTA is a bad thing. They are already stressed enough without your punk team deciding the rules don't apply to them for WHATEVER reason you are using to justify it.

Frankly, I'm appalled that you're so easily discussing interfering with the field. But I'm more annoyed at how easily you discount the impact your actions will have on the volunteers who will face the repercussions. Because when the field doesn't work nobody is going to come to you, they'll go to the FTA and then the FTA will have to spend an hour of their time hunting down your stupid wifi network while listening to people blame them/NI/Cisco.
