History is Doomed to Repeat itself

About 3 (or is it 4 now because of the season change?) years ago, The NJ Regional was having an undeclared cart contest (I think RoboRaiders were winning, they still have the cart, but they don't use it to full effect) that was spanning multiple years.

Then FIRST asked us (as a Regional as a whole) to not use the lights/music/sirens/airhorns/strobe lights anymore, so everyone stopped.

Period.

I'm not that surprised to see it picking up again, but keep in mind before you blow huge amounts of money on these things, to include an off switch, because FIRST most likely will make the same request again if it starts interfering.

Maybe some self imposed limits of only in the Pits and hallways, but not while the compeition floor is visible will allow the fun to continue longer.
