Re: Player station question...

<R66> states that you can use portable computing devices to report feedback. Common sense would dictate, and is supported by the above mentioned experiences, that light feedback displays would be well within the rules. AC power of course is unavailable, but there is nothing within the rules that states feeback lights must be powered by the OI, and logic would indicate that outside portable power would be encouraged if the needs required it.

Of course, this assumes you're creating an interface with the Dashboard port of the OI. Anything connected to joystick ports must be self powered (I don't know how you would create a feedback system using the joystick ports, but it deserves mention). Also, nothing can be connected to the tether port when the competition port is in use.
