Internet at competitions
Alright, so I did some reading, and FIRST says that accessing the internet at competitions is a no-go.
And yet in the two that I went to, I'm pretty sure I saw some browsers open, perhaps even AIM if memory serves me right.
One thing I did notice was the mention of not having phone lines for access, which tends to make me think that the rule was put in back when dialup was the norm.
So is this rule just an anachronism, one of those rules that nobody follows (see also saving seats), or something that people are getting away with?
