G302 *Limit what you bring to the FIELD. Items brought to the FIELD to be used for a MATCH, in addition to the ROBOT, OPERATOR CONSOLE, must fit in the teams designated ALLIANCE AREA, be worn or held by members of the DRIVE TEAM, or be an item used as an accommodation (e.g., single-step stools that do not roll/fold, crutches, cushion, kneeling mat,). Regardless of if the equipment fits the criteria above, it may not:
A. be employed in a way that introduces a safety hazard,
B. extend more than 6 ft. 6 in. (~198 cm) above the TILES,
C. communicate with anything or anyone outside of the ARENA with the exception of medically required equipment,
D. block visibility for FIELD STAFF or audience members, or
E. jam or interfere with anything in the ARENA.
Violation: MATCH will not start until the situation is remedied. YELLOW CARD, if discovered or used inappropriately during a MATCH.
It is not a violation of this rule to bring an alignment device to the FIELD to aid pre-MATCH ROBOT set-up and alignment. The use of any alignment devices should not delay MATCH start in violation of G301.
Examples of equipment that may be considered a safety hazard in the confined space of the ALLIANCE AREA include but are not limited to, a folding step stool, ladder, or a large signaling device.
Using an item that has wireless communications disabled complies with G302.C above.
Examples of jamming or interfering with remote sensing capabilities include, but are not limited to, mimicking the FIELD AprilTags and shining bright lighting or laser pointers onto the FIELD.
