Gurus,
I need your help...
I am an amateur triathlete and I'm getting ready for the start of
the
triathlon season and I had this problem last year that I'm trying to
solve.
The problem is that during an open-water triathlon swim I need to
skip
a stroke every so often to lift my head out of the water and site the
next turn buoy. I usually find myself off course by a few yards and
need to make corrections. This costs me time from being off course
and from skipping a stroke. So, I had this idea to take apart an old
digital camera or picture phone and mount the camera part to the back
of my head and attach the LCD part in front of my goggles.

Will such a device be illegal in competition?- Hide quoted text -

Not yet!

But, if it's patented, it'll be illegal for you to build one.


Illegal to sell it, or to profit by using it. But building one for
fun? Don't think so.

Cheers,

Phil Hobbs


You are correct (as usual).


You _both_ need to check your facts (or specify in what country your
opinion applies, if other than the US).
