I have hopes that FIRST will see the light and clarify the ruling next year or sometime soon but until then we'll keep trying new stuff. They fixed the scanning LIDAR stuff after a couple years: http://www.firstinspires.org/sites/d...0_09_24_41.pdf
Well, I think they FINALLY did a little clarifying. Probably decided that since 900 wasn't asking, it was safe...

This time, they went into intent. Basically, COTS computing devices that contain (are sold with installed) battery solutions are in, and devices that are not... are not. It's a start at clarity... but not fully there yet.
