The design we made was used legally in two regionals and nationals last year, so it doesn't really count as a computer device.

Also, to all teams wanting to make one of these for this years competition, we, the creators of the design, must advise you about an issue we had with it. We had some power regulation issues, which cause the thing to occasionally drop connection during competitions (works fine when the OI is powered from an AC adapter, but not always in competitions when all OIs are off of one power supply). We have some ideas about updating the design to fix this problem, like adding a capacitor to help prevent short lived power drops. We don't have a solution yet, but we will probably be updating the white paper when we do. Please proceed at your own risk when building these, at least until we get a fix available. (It should be a simple solution, not requiring new boards to be made if you already did)
