Default RE: Telemetry in F3A


ORIGINAL: MTK
I don't want to see and will not support any telemetry aids for Judging. Mechanical aids that are hand held (pencils for example), are already in use and are fine. But electronic feedback of attitude/direction, altitude, distance, speed, or angular delta to the judge's stand, etc., must be forbidden in competition.
Imagine if the sport ever got to the point where it was using "hawkeye"

It's great for cricket and tennis. Other cool thing I saw once was in an F1 coverage, where the first corner action was frozen, coverted to digital models frame by frame, then 3D rotated and played to see which bits of who's cars was hitting what and where....
