As for internet, there has always been a rule about not setting up a phone line or any type of connection for private internet use. However, I have never been to a religion where there was an issue with internal networks (such as scouting). As for not being on the internet at all during the competition...thats kinda hard since most people have internet enabled Cell phones and places such as the GWCC have public computer terminals...

As for the rule regarding wood size on crates...am I right to assume that a team with 3/4" wood will be required to rebuild their crate? Or would it be acceptable because it exceeds the (minimal) standards. I think FIRST is just trying to get people away from using 1/4" wood and getting a nice flat crate when they get to competition. However, our 3/4" has been overweight before, but we have never disputed paying it or anything of that nature...
