R702       *Communicate with the ROBOT with the specified radio. 1 Vivid Hosting wireless bridge (P/N: VH-109, WCP-1538), 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. Events held in China are the exceptions to this rule and must use an OpenMesh (P/N: OM5P-AN or OM5P-AC) radio.

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.

R710       *Only specified modifications to control system devices permitted. The Driver Station Software, roboRIO, PD, PCM(s)/PH(s), VRM(s)/RPM(s), RSL, 120A breaker, motor controllers, MXP devices used to control actuators per R713-C, relay modules (per R504-B), wireless bridge, PD breakers and fuses, Servo Power Module, Servo Hub, motor power adapter boards, and batteries shall not be tampered with, modified, or adjusted in any way (tampering includes drilling, cutting, machining, rewiring, disassembling, painting, etc.), with the following exceptions:
