Question Using wireless controllers for driving

I haven't been able to find the rules regarding wireless controllers for the driver. Would it be OK to use a Bluetooth controller (such as a PS3 controller) or a wireless xBox 360 controller using the Microsoft USB adapter?

Thanks!

Re: Using wireless controllers for driving

R94 explicitly prohibits wireless controllers.

Quote:
R94
Other than the system provided by the ARENA, no other form of wireless communications shall be used to communicate to, from, or within the OPERATOR CONSOLE.

Examples of prohibited wireless systems include, but are not limited to, active wireless network cards and Bluetooth devices. For the case of FRC, a motion sensing input device (e.g. Microsoft Kinect) is not considered wireless communication and is allowed.
