Rule 83

Rule 83 states that "nothing can be connected to the power connector on the Driver Station during a MATCH." what exactly does this mean? how are we supposed to run our driver's station without having a power cable plug into it?

Re: Rule 83

The field provides power through the competition port.

Re: Rule 83

The Driver Station draws its power from the competition port during the competition.

Re: Rule 83

Which means, make sure the competition port is plugged in, then double and triple check it, because if it gets bumped enough that it disconnects the power contacts you are quite frankly useless for the rest of that match.

Re: Rule 83

And make sure that you remove your power adapter before the match. It's suspected that having one plugged in to the DS killed the field at at least one regional--it wasn't even connected to a power strip or anything like that. Not confirmed, but certainly a suspect in the field going down.

Re: Rule 83

Also make sure to screw the thing in, too many times teams forget this and a robot runs into the wall during auto and it bumps it out, then you are out the rest of the match.
