Re: Rule against Sirens?

102db is well up into the "unsafe for your hearing" levels. If you can't mute it go find something quieter. You are likely to be disqualified for operating a robot that creates an unsafe environment for people. (I didn't bother looking up the rule number. If there isn't a rule against it, it's still wrong -- it shouldn't pass inspection, and a referee should DQ it should it appear on the field.)

Not that the music at some venues doesn't exceed 100db, but that's another perennial thread that I expect will show up soon.
