Re: [FTC]: Samantha? Like it or hate it?

Dealing with innocently is fairly simple to do, and is likely the bigger issue. FTAs just need to ignore FIRST's instructions, and use a unique SSID for their competition & practice routers.

Maliciously is harder to avoid, but I'm less worried about that. FRC has been using WiFi for several years now, and I haven't heard of any major issues with bad actors there.

At the tournaments I (as FTA) am running though, I will be actively running WiFi scanners and tracking down any APs that don't belong to the venue. This should hopefully reduce the threat of these issues, as well as know when it is an issue that is affecting matches.
