I'd like to point out that it's probably more of a pit safety issue than it is a competition interference issue. The robot receivers are 900Mhz like some brands of radios and are plugged in even when the bot is tethered. The last thing anyone wants is for their robot to receive some wierd rogue signal and start moving when it's not supposed to. It is simply too difficult to ascertain who has a 900Mhz radio instead of a 5.x Ghz radio, so FIRST correctly says no radios are allowed period.
