On the power strips, you've got to be kidding me. It's not about how many you hook together. It's about the load being put on them. So long as the load is well below spec, I see no issue in daisy-chaining power strips. If they are truly going to stop us from daisy-chaining power strips, they better provide us with at least 4 outlets per pit. Either that, or someone needs to point me to a 20-outlet power strip/squid. Or, can we use a triple-tap outlet adapter in each outlet in a power strip? This is silly.
What's more of an issue is half a dozen teams each with half a dozen laptops getting power for scouting all from one outlet in the stands, which is the same outlet powering the field camera. Why doesn't FIRST contract to have their cabling guys run power to the stands?
