Many teams have a large number of students as well as a collection of older controllers. One question that came up during the 2015 Hawaii Regional Workshop was the possibility of competing in the Hawaii Regional Tournament using the older CBC style controllers.
Officially, only the latest "Link" controller (i.e. the Botball Brain) can be used at a Regional Tournament. However, if all teams in the regional tournament agreed, you could have "House Rules" that allowed the older controller(s) to be used in competition.
The following caveats also apply: (1) you would not be able to participate at GCER (International Competition) because only the latest "official" controllers can be used, (2) the older controllers are out of support life and NO support is available. Repeat, NO SUPPORT is available.
We would like to propose that for the 2015 Hawaii Regional Tournament that older controller (e.g. CBC style) can be used in the tournament.
If anyone has a concern with this "House Rule", please contact hawaiibotball@gmail.com to raise your concern by Mar 31, 2015.
