We recently got a Makey Makey, and I’m curious if it’s prohibited to have a banana as part of our driver interface. Just a random thought
SHOOT THE BALL!!! HIT THAT BANANA!!!

Please do this.
If it’s allowed (and I can sneak the banana past the mentors), I will
After thorough examination of both the game manual and the first Q&A, I have found nothing against this! Some venues might not like food inside their place but other than that I don’t see any rules broken.
You must have a sign next to it that says, “Banana for scale”.
Thank you!
Wait, now, this seems like it could be a slippery slope.
I mean, if you can have a banana, what will the next person ask for? A slide rule?
Pit Admin: Team 6763 is looking for a fresh banana. Theirs is spoiled, and they need a new one for their match in 2 minutes. Team 6763 needs a fresh banana. Thank you.
Don’t expect the GDC to give you an answer about the venue issue. I asked about the issues with a venue not allowing a baguette or leg of mutton, and they just deleted the question.
Things to consider:
(Just in case it’s not clear, nothing in this post is intended to be taken particularly seriously.)
I was going to suggest that it’s PPE.
Hungry operators may faint during the matches. Food prevents fainting. Therefore, it’s PPE and should be allowed. However, care should be taken to prevent banana residue from getting on the Power Cells.
The easy way to do this is to hot glue a banana to your operator console and say that it’s a required piece of equipment for memeing.
The hard way to do this is to use it for driving (Replace your joystick with a banana), and operating (again, more joysticks)
The hard way is guaranteed to allow you to have a banana.
If all else fails, declare that it’s artwork. Have to watch for other hungry artists, though.
Proposed language, adding vii under rule H1:
vii. Components of the OPERATOR CONSOLE that are edible must be shared with the FIELD STAFF prior to the match.
It could be a non-powered signalling device, similar to the aforementioned baguette or leg of mutton.
hmm yes, potassium
You will have to get a waver from Dave Lavery.
Teams may not use BANANA PEELS to sabotage opposing alliance members.
Violation: Pie in the face
Yeah, that could be an H14 violation if particularly egregious. We wouldn’t want that to happen.
Better bring a bunch. I’ve never known a field staff that wasn’t hungry except in the first match after lunch.
