Driver Station Power at the competition.

Hi, I was wondering how the driver station will be powered during the upcoming FRC Competition?

Will we still use the given power adapter or is there another method?
Any information or advice is appreciated, THANKS A LOT!

All power on the field comes through the competition port on the DS. Make sure you can get to it quickly and easily.

In the pits, you'll still need the power adapter.

Thanks for the quick reply. In addition to the power source, does the competition provide the wireless also? Therefore, we don't have to include the wireless cisco blue router on our driver station board, right? As of now, our driver station board consists our driver station and our two controllers. Thanks again!!

You are correct.

It seems to be the same setup as previous years, but with all new hardware.
