R703      *Use specific Ethernet port for roboRIO. The roboRIO Ethernet port must be connected to the wireless bridge port labeled “RIO” (either directly, via a network switch, via an RPM, or via a CAT5 Ethernet pigtail).

R707      *No other wireless allowed. No form of wireless communication shall be used to communicate to, from, or within the ROBOT, except those required per R702, R706, and tags used for location detection systems if provided by the event.

R903      *Connect FMS Ethernet directly to the OPERATOR CONSOLE. Devices hosting the Driver Station Software must only interface with the FMS via the Ethernet cable provided at the DRIVER STATION (e.g. not through a switch). Teams may connect the FMS Ethernet cable to the device running the Driver Station Software directly via an Ethernet pigtail, or with a single-port Ethernet converter (e.g. docking station, USB-Ethernet converter, Thunderbolt-Ethernet converter, etc.). The Ethernet port on the OPERATOR CONSOLE must be easily and quickly accessible.

R702      *Communicate with the ROBOT with the specified radio. 1 Vivid Hosting wireless bridge (P/N: VH-109), that has been configured with the appropriate encryption key for your team number at each event, is the only permitted device for communicating to and from the ROBOT during the MATCH.
