Legality of Mounting a Camera on the Robot?

[davidthefat]

So how legal would it be to properly mount a camera on the robot to capture HD video footage from a first person view of the robot?

We did that last year, but we just never asked if it was legal :rolleyes:. I think a proper mounting, instead of zip ties and duct tape would be great.

Any decorations that involve broadcasting a signal to/from the Robot, such as remote cameras, must be approved by FIRST (via e-mail to frcteams@usfirst.org) prior to the event and tested for communications interference at the venue. Such devices, if reviewed and approved, are excluded from Rule [R55].

Start with that; even if you aren't broadcasting, but you have the mount in place (and the mount is legal), it's a good idea.
