Emergency

[tdlrali]

Sorry for being unclear, disregard my statement about "The signal light should be clearly visible from all sides." I mixed it up with the flag rules.

About the laptop:

From Team Update #3:

Devices used solely for the purpose of planning or tracking strategy of game play are
allowed inside the ALLIANCE ZONE, if they meet ALL of the following conditions:
Do not connect or attach to the OPERATOR CONSOLE
Do not connect or attach to the FIELD or ARENA
Do not connect or attach to another alliance member
Do not communicate with anything or anyone outside of the ALLIANCE ZONE (for
example wireless communications must be disabled).
Do not in any way affect the outcome of a MATCH, other than by allowing team
members to plan or track strategy for the purposes of communication of that
strategy to other alliance members.

However, from http://forums.usfirst.org/showthread...hlight=laptop:

A laptop connected to the Dashboard Port of the Operator Interface would be considered part of the Operator Console. As such, the Coach may not touch the dashboard laptop without violating Rule <G49>.

So you can bring a laptop, PDA... However, the coach cannot use a laptop that is connected to the OI.
I couldn't find any info on the human player, however.
