R905       *ROBOT application wireless communication only. Other than the connection controlled by the ROBOT CONTROLLER app running on the ROBOT and the DRIVER STATION app running on the DRIVER STATION device, no other form of wireless communications shall be used to communicate to, from, or within the OPERATOR CONSOLE during a MATCH.

Examples of prohibited wireless systems include, but are not limited to, active wireless network cards and Bluetooth devices.

Because this system uses a built-in wireless radio, teams are strongly encouraged to ensure there is no metal material blocking the line-of-sight between the DRIVER STATION device and the ROBOT CONTROLLER device which could impede the signal quality.

Rule R907
R906       *No unsafe or unfair OPERATOR CONSOLES. OPERATOR CONSOLES shall not be made using hazardous materials, be unsafe, cause damage, cause an unsafe condition, distract, or interfere with other DRIVE TEAMS or the operation of other ROBOTS.
Rule R706
R706       *Bandwidth is restricted. Software with access to the ROBOT network must limit the amount of data being streamed (i.e., continuous transmission of data) over Wi-Fi. Software may only stream robot control data, debugging data, and telemetry to and from the ROBOT. No continuous video stream is allowed.
Rule R709
R709       *No other wireless allowed. No form of wireless communication shall be used to communicate to, from, or within the ROBOT, except those specified per R706 and R708.
Rule R708
R708       *Do not interfere with the ROBOT networks. During a MATCH, all communications signals must originate from only the ROBOT CONTROLLER device or the DRIVER STATION device using the ROBOT CONTROLLER Wi-Fi network. No other devices may attempt to connect to, interfere with, or alter the ROBOT CONTROLLER Wi-Fi network.
