Swagways* were banned in the dormitories of my university because they apparently they have been known to catch fire while charging. I personally don't want to be anywhere near something that poorly engineered.


*Everyone I know who calls them that (including myself) is mocking the observed majority of owners.

But Swagway is the actual name of one of the companies making these.

4.13 SITE RESTRICTIONS
Do not use skateboards or ‘hoverboards’. This is a safety concern.
Do not use drones. This is a safety concern.

Darn, so much for my grand plan to fly a drone through the arena while driving behind it on a hoverswagboard.

I know that FIRST has had a standing policy that their documents should not be rehosted, so I'm not going to post to CD. I have read through them, and I will say that there does not seem to be anything which reveals the game. The only thing I noticed that was strange was that we are already past the December 8th deadline given to request a robot transportation exemption (that is, to request free shipping donated by FedEx for a regional).
