Thunderstix banned?
Team 980 "Thunder Bots" was considering a chorus from "Thunderstix" when our team is introduced for a match.
Thunderstix are a pair of 2-foot long inflated plastic tubes, See:
http://www.thunderstixs.com/
Thundersitx have been issued to fans of the LA Lakers and Anaheim Angels by the thousands AT THE EVENT.
Before we invest a few hundred dollars to get these made with our team name imprinted, can we get a semi-official interpretation of the rule?
Are fans going to need to disable or check in their vocal chords and tie their hands behind their backs as well?
Part of the excitement of FIRST is the energy that the spectators and supporters express for their teams. Conducting these events in sporting venues (LA Sports Arena, Astrodome, etc.) places spectators in an environment where making noise isn't just the norm, it's encouraged.
If this noise is a problem, maybe the events should be conducted in libraries, courtrooms and hospitals....
