The rule was as stated above. There were no exceptions mentioned. If it was a two-way radio then it was not allowed, plain and simple.

That is from this years manual.

It is going to be hard to see the other side of the Rack this year. Maybe having team members with dry erase boards or something on the other side would help. Note I don't mean on the field I mean that the other team members would still be in the stands. This will be hard depending on where you are sitting and the arena but in the past it has been easier because the human player wasn't always behind the alliance zone-like in the '04 or '05 game with the tetras.

2007 FRC Manual 3.14.3: Two-way radios: Not allowed in the Pit or near the playing field since they may interfere with robot operation and cause accidents.

is that legal.

Ask again later. The rules for 2007 are not out yet and can change year to year. However, in years past this has not been allowed.
