If this is the case, then that's a huge blow to anyone who likes having their operator console in one piece. At Alamo, the Texas style defense involved vigorously smashing the high goal shooter into our alliance driver station. Thanks to our clamp and velcro combination, our operator console stayed on the driver station.

If this rule affects clamping down and/or velcro-ing operator consoles, then everyone is in for a rough season. Tournaments can be won and lost just by having a game controller come unplugged, let alone having the entire operator console come smashing to the ground.
