I think it's high time to enact an all-out ban on batteries in paintball, that or leagues will have to start giving out stock boards/hoppers. |
Interesting... I've seen external antennas for WiFi cards, and used them myself for wardriving, but I've not seen antennas for Bluetooth... In fact, most of the machines I buy for business use have BT built in - without an external (or extended) antenna. BT range is poor, IMHO. I can leave my phone in the garage (out in the open) and walk down to the mailbox (50 feet or so) and drop a phone call. Consider first the size of a paintball field, and second, someone being at the top of a stand... Realistically, I don't see how they could get a connection. If it's a team mate at the edge of the field, then maybe...
Then again, it could just be the Molson talking. I sure wish the circuit (PRI) change-over went better this evening...
