Re: in the pits

Welcome to ChiefDelphi! (By the way, the locals appreciate punctuation and spelling. There's a spell check right by the post button.)

In the order you asked them... no, you wouldn't be able to drive around a mini-robot. The pit lanes are crowded enough.

As for the blimp, I doubt that would be allowed. Safety, and FIRST Engineering frowns upon wireless cameras, as they tend to use the same frequencies as the robots themselves.

Green halogens? NO, NO, NO. Check the manual for details.

Hovercraft to haul the bot? I can't see why this would be disallowed, assuming it is safe and relatively quiet. However, build that hovercraft to last, or bring a little red wagon just in case.

Again, wireless cameras tend to be disallowed. Have someone contact FIRST about it.
