Official Q&A: VEX V5 Robotics Competition 2024-2025: High Stakes
2385: Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses
Answered by committee
<G8> clause A states that Drive Team Members are prohibited from bringing/using any sort of communication devices into the Alliance Station. Non-headphone devices with communication features turned off (e.g., a phone in airplane mode) are allowed.
Because Ray-Ban Meta Smart Glasses have communication and audio features that are comparable to earbuds or powered headphones, they fall under clauses A and D of rule <G8> and cannot be worn or used in the Alliance Station.
