Visibility Issues Solved?
 
Somebody on my team suggested mounting a USB camera on the standard and watching the feed from the drivers station, letting us see over defenses. We haven't found any rule prohibiting this, but we want to know for sure that it's legal. Has anyone found any rules about this?

I'd suggest reading the Standard rules. Seem to recall something about electronics in there.

Could not find anything in the standard guidelines.

I'd like to direct you to the FRC Q&A, where the question has been answered by the GDC:

Q593: Are teams allowed to include a wired video camera connected to their drivers station on their team standard to improve visibility? Can teams include LEDs on their standard?

A593:Any wired connection from the Team STANDARD to the OPERATOR CONSOLE would violate rule T9 because the STANDARD would not meet the Team Standard Specification (specifically the volume requirements). The OPERATOR CONSOLE does not include the Team STANDARD. There are no rules preventing Teams from including LEDs on their STANDARDS as long as it is fully compliant with the Team Standard Specification.
