Using FRC dashboard w/ camera during competition?
 

in the Labview Robotics Programming Guide for FRC, on page 4-8
there is a note around mid section of the page that states
"you can send image data to the host computer only during development, not during the FRC competition."

does that mean during the competition we can't have dashboard running with a streaming video? And if so, can we still view the camera somehow during competition?

So does that mean we cannot see the camera's video image during the competition?

I believe the current expectation is that the dashboard can be used, but the FMS will block ports including the one the dashboard uses for the camera. At least for this year, no robot's eye view driving.

The port that the PCVideoServer would be running on to display the camera on the dashboard will be disabled during competition. Even if it wasn't the limited bandwidth would make it almost not even worth it. I'm currently trying to figure out if you can take a snapshot with the camera then retrieve it from the cRIO later w/ FTP.
