Re: GoPro Legality?

For those of you looking to cite a Q&A that allows you to use a Go Pro:

A. There are no Rules explicitly allowing or disallowing any specific camera, provided that all other ROBOT Rules are met, specifically [R56]. For technical help with getting video from the ROBOT to the OPERATOR CONSOLE, please use the FRC Technical section of the FRC Supplier Q&A.

A. There are no Rules explicitly prohibiting this, but remember [R74].
Interpret as you may, but it seems like as long as you've got the weight and the camera is not transmitting signals to and from the robot/itself, you're good to go.
