GoPros are great tools for documenting your team and spreading the word of FIRST, so congratulations.

As stated, the WiFi will need to be off. Additionally, you'll want to make sure that it is attached (or with) the robot when it gets weighed (and sized, if you're putting it in a location that would impact that). Also, be sure to include it in the BOM that you provide to the inspectors. These are minor things that are easy to overlook, but it's best to leave no extra questions for the inspectors.
