Re: Is it legal to use IP camera's on your robot?
The RoboRio has two USB type A ports on it, could you not just use two USB webcams? Or are you looking to use more than 2 cameras?
To answer your specific question though, IP cameras are allowed...

Re: 90 + degree camera ?
Depends on the application. If the goal is to be able to actually view the video feed, then you'd have to look at it sideways unless you could rotate the video itself. If all you're doing is...

Re: Battery Rules

Re: Battery Rules
Could you elaborate on this? Our current battery charger design has the batteries laying down. What is the downside of doing this? Do we have to completely redesign and rebuild our battery cart?
