I hope we can get FIRST to finally sets a uniform safety standard this year for drivers using gamepads with long cords. For years many teams have simply given drivers nice long cords and agreed among the alliance that they can shift around needed. (Of course us coaches and HPs are moving around already.) That's routinely solved a lot of this in the past, but this is certainly another beast in terms of the movement that might be beneficial. At the same time, over the years, there've been nonuniform objections to these cords on safety grounds. Certainly some uses really can be dangerous, but the unsystematic nature of the objections could create serious disparities in competitive advantage especially this year.

1/2 driver's station away from your own is the max length under C12, at least for drivers with long cords. If you see something, may help to say something in the question box.
