E. No more than one NXT controller with the Bluetooth functionality disabled,


QUESTION: How are we supposed to power the NXT controller without using its self-contained batery(ies)?
well, leaving out the batteries ensures the Bluetooth is disabled.

Acctually, <R34> specifically allows for batteries integral to COTS computing devices, with the example of laptop batteries given.

<R35> reenforces this rule by making an exception for "a battery contained in a COTS computing device"

I think it would be the same for the NXT, since it is a COTS computing device.
