I have it on good authority that FIRST will be issuing salad bowls and tin foil in the pits, too.
Heh. I actually have a decorative salad bowl +tinfoil above my computer desk. But I'm not wasting a cell phone.

Re: Will there be Wifi at nationals?

I'm curious as to why, of all the rules and regulations, there seems to almost universal disregard to section 3.12 of the manual?
Particularly:
Quote:
• Do not arrange for Internet access on the site or attempt to connect to the Internet.

It seems, that since they are not providing it to all teams, that some teams may have an advantage... Advantage for what? I have no idea... But oh well......

Re: Will there be Wifi at nationals?

It seems kind of weird that Wifi is not allowed in the rules however at VCU it was specially setup so that teams could get Wifi with temporary login IDs

At the St. Louis regional, they didn't restrict access at all

Re: Will there be Wifi at nationals?

That's what's strange. It's clearly against the rules in the very same section that says "no loud music" and "no running." But nearly everyone (including the people who run this thing) seems not to care. It specifically says don't connect to the internet, but elaborate efforts are put forth to make it possible. I'm going to crank up my stereo, put on my shaded eye protection, and run in the pits while dragging a running band saw behind me..... all while posting on chief delphi
