Searching the "The Robot" section of the 2012 game manual revealed two references to cameras.
The first is part of [R38]:
"The chassis for the cRIO and the supplied KOP camera have grounded enclosures. Under this rule (and for their protection), it is required that they be electrically isolated from the Robot frame when installed on the Robot."
not much there...
The second is [R67]
"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]."
My unofficial interpretation is that if you are using any
network cameras other than the ones provided in the KOP, then you must clear them with FIRST. If you camera's are self-contained and just for the first person POV (as suggested above), then the decision on their legality is up to your Robot Inspector.
