Rule 8.2.1 clearly states the items allowed by brand and part #. However, on page 34 (also 8.2.1) it says that additional commercially available sensors or actuators can be used. Is an additional camera considered a sensor? Would that be allowed?

@Coach-D Since this question relates to a clarification of the Game Manual, I’ve switched the thread category to 2023 Game Q&A.

@Jeremiah_M - Can you review this question?

@Coach-D Great question: An additional camera would be allowed so long as it is controlled as defined in 3.2.1.b
