Re: Rules disallowing the use of GoPro for Drive Team

Unless the rule has changed (and I doubt it has) you're allowed to have a camera at your driver station for something like that. I'd let a ref or someone know just to be safe, though. As far as having it on you, you're going to have to demonstrate that it's not at all part of your control systems (since if it were, you'd be illegally controlling the robot), or just put it on as soon as the autonomous period ends. You should be fine, though. We've gotten a lot of footage for videos from the driver station. Like I said, just talk to a ref (and maybe the FTA) about it ahead of time so they know what you're doing.
