Re: On board shock datalogger?

I would tend to treat this device as something like the on-board camera for video purposes. These are allowed as long as the video is not used during the match and you get prior approval (in writing) from FIRST Engineering.

You would have to comply with various rules. The device would have to have a self contained power supply and it would not be able to relay data back to the OI in any fashion. You would still have to meet weight with the device installed etc.

The data could be of great use to the larger FIRST community if it was published. So I think it would be approved under those conditions.
