From my understanding all the Purdue FIRST scouting was done on laptops that were wired together.

As for the wireless rules, I think FIRST is fully aware of the technical issues with using 5Ghz spectrum and the potential for interference from non Wifi devices. I don't think you will see FIRST come down hard and enforce the rule unless someone is caught intentionally interfering with the field system. That does not mean you shouldn't respect the rules set forth by FIRST even if you are technically sure it wouldn't interfere at all.

In the past the FTA would stop by your pit if you were caught using the radio but I didn't hear about that happening at all this week.
