Driver Station Power

I am throwing around the idea of using a dual monitor driver station. I know the drive stations have power for the classmate, but is their also an outlet to power the second monitor? Would this be possible at the competition?

Re: Driver Station Power

There won't be an outlet at the driver's station.

You'll get a classmate power converter. There will be no team-usable outlets--any outlets not taken by the three classmate converters on an end will go to field power or be otherwise inaccessible.

If you want a second monitor for some reason, you will have to bring the power to run it with you. It's the same as for any non-classmate drivers' station computer.
