In addition, lighting is augmented by that which comes in through some very large windows at either end of the coliseum. Q: Do the two navigational aids that we will use need to follow the same wireless requirements as the vehicle when they are only talking to the base station for calculation purposes? (ex. They must transmit 100 m.) A: The Official Rules state: “…one clear picture of a specific target gauge (monochrome or color, still or video, real time or stored rebroadcast) must be relayed by means of a radio frequency (RF) signal with sufficient power to be received at a distance of 100 meters with a loss of 6 dBm (to account for attenuation by the structure) into an antenna with aperture no greater than 1 meter.” The reason for this requirement is to simulate the fact that your vehicle flying around inside the building would have to transmit to the mothership somewhere outside the building so th
