Are you allowed to listen to music while driving? I feel like it would give me a boost.

I think that’s a good idea. If it were my tournament I would simply say "We suggest leaving one ear free, and keeping the volume low, but if you don’t want to you don’t have to. If you don’t hear a ref’s call, too bad. Run it at your own risk.

I was just mentioning the potential for interference since you mentioned WiFi, and I made the (seemingly incorrect?) assumption that you were replying to the post above yours rather than the OP.

It would be a risk to listen to music because you have to listen to your team mates and the referee.

No worries, I think we can all agree to the point of do not listen to music during matches.

Show them the ipod it’s plugged into. Just to clarify, I’m saying listen on a music device, not a phone (like an MP3 already mentioned) the EP might let you use it if you show them, plus the wired headphones.

Yes it will be your fault, so music is kind of a “use at your own risk” thing. If you don’t hear the ref because it’s too loud, and your team member doesn’t notice, too bad. It’s your own fault.So yes, be weary if you do get to listen to music.

If I was in a position of authority at a tournament (e.g. head ref), I would only let you do this only if one ear was fully exposed and your volume was low enough that I couldn’t hear your music standing right next to you.

There are safety considerations at issue, which may be a risk to everyone, not just one team’s robot. If your robot needs to be disabled, you had best be able to hear the event staff clearly.

yeah no. . it sounds too scary. I’ll just have to rock out without music I guess;)
