Re: Xbee interfearance

In the past rules only allowed certain devices pre approved by FIRST Engineering to be used on the robot.

2010
<R58> No other form of wireless communications shall be used to communicate to, from or within the ROBOT (e.g. radio modems from previous FIRST competitions and Bluetooth devices are not permitted on the ROBOT during competition).
<R86> Other than the system provided by the ARENA, no other form of wireless communications shall be used to communicate to, from or within the OPERATOR CONSOLE (e.g. active wireless network cards and Bluetooth devices are not permitted in the OPERATOR CONSOLE).
Wireless cameras have also been included in this language.
I would not think that engineering would allow a change in this language. Check the 2011 manual and/or the Q&A when they become available.
