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.
DRIVER STATION sounds which are distracting or which mimic MATCH sounds are examples of disallowed OPERATOR CONSOLE features.
Sounds which are frequent or continuous which serve no apparent value to the MATCH play would likely be considered distracting.
The intent of this rule is to allow teams to use a container to store, organize, and transport the DRIVER STATION device and supporting electronics. The OPERATOR CONSOLE rules are not intended to allow systems that function as a ROBOT cart or replace a competition-provided OPERATOR CONSOLE stand, table, etc.
