I was woundering if I am alllowed to take control of other robots with a freqency jammer and use anoughter controler to control it
eerrr…
NO.
you know…yeah.
ok not really. that would be the cheapest strategy ever.
i would beat your entire team with the really big stick of gracious professionalism!!

Ummm… that doesn’t sound too gracious or professional… though I will admit I thought of it before. Never gave it serious thought, but I did think of it.
we actually have a team working on that…It’s legal as long as you don’t get caught, my ghettoriffic friend…

I’ll say…major eye rollage

Custom Circuits may not:
-Interfere with the operation of other robots
-Directly affect any output devices on the robot, such as by providing power directly to a motor, supplying a PWM signal to a speed controller or supplying a control signal to the relay module. (High impedance voltages monitoring inputs or low impedance current monitoring inputs on the custom circuits connected to the robot outputs are acceptable, because the effect on the robot outputs should be inconsequential.)
-Be used for wireless communication, such as sending or receiving a signal to and/or from the alliance station.
-Connect to the programming, radio or tether ports on the Robot Controller.

I can’t believe you even suggested that…I seriously hope you were joking…

yet another usless thread
Instead of posting the worst idea ever, think of ways to improve the robot 
instead of ressuructing dead threads, build a robot =)
My two cents: Yes i’m sure it is feasible to do, illegal, but feasible. Wouldn’t be the first time someone has gotten away with something illegal, but the large majority of illegal parts have been unintentional. If you know it’s illegal, don’t make it.
This is an idea that every team has joked bout, but i doubt anyone has tried, from ur team # it looks like your a rookie team and my suggestion is not do to something this stupid.
Does anyone notice that this is posted in the rumor mill??? I think he is kidding.
Of course he’s joking…
but hey, if you want, I can send you schematics for a frequency jammer… costs less than $5 to get the parts and all you have to do is adjust a screw to block out a certain frequency. Very fun in big cities in hotels where TV is accessed by satellites (here in Ithaca we pay for even the lowest level cable).
I think it would be graciously profesional. I mean then the other team wouldn’t have to worry about working together to get the maximum score possible. It would all be run by one alliance and thus no pushing down stacks, no competiting for the bridge… The other alliance could do something nice, like sleep, or read a book. Why should they have to drive their robot!!!
Im not even sure this work the way intended. From my understanding all the robots transmit on the same frequency. It has some kind of mad crazy way of figuring out which parts being broadcast on the frequency are for it. So if i am right (which i think i am but im not 100%) if you jammed the frequency one team was on you would be jamming your own as well.
You could actually use a normal walkie-talkie to try to screw up the robots- there were some problems with this at some competitions I went to last year…
Well, don’t tell anyone, but my plan for autonomous mode involves a radio modem and a laptop… I’ll be hiding in another room while someone sits in the bleachers with a video camera
while everyone else says no… I think that you are privileged to do whatever you want (in your own little world that is)
i cannot believe anyone would even entertain the idea (of a jammer) in the open, its something that might be fun to work with friends, however, its soo anti-FIRST that i would personally be embarrassed to air the idea in public.
