Re: Batteries in Crate?

I was always under that impression too; that the RC was part of the robot and must be shipped. However, 6.3.4 says you may keep all of your robot controls (Operator Interface, OI power supply, joysticks, etc.)

6.3.4 Crate Contents (Required)
Teams must include the robot and the two batteries. You must carefully and completely follow all of the instructions above listed in the “Battery Packaging“ section. If the federal regulations are not followed, your robot may not make the event(s).

FIRST will allow you to keep all of your robot controls (Operator Interface, OI power supply, joysticks, etc.) and not ship it with your robot on Tuesday, 2/22/2005. This will allow you to continue to work on your programming. If you decide not to ship it with your robot, please remember to bring it to your initial competition. FIRST does not have replacement controls.
Does the RC fall under "etc"? I wouldn't think so, but then again I'm not completely sure. Perhaps a question should be posed to Q&A.
