Wireless from phones can interfere with the field, if planes were being thrown onto competition fields FIRST would smack it down in a heart beat. There is a difference between tolerating something and being on board with something. FIRST might tolerate the paper airplanes and all the extra clean up they have to do because the crowd gets "bored" but that doesn't mean behind the scenes they are okay with it. I'd be interested in hearing more volunteers and staff voice what opinions.
