So that got me wondering if I could do roboRIO-4480.local:1180 and see if the camera itself isn't working? Also, we have the Logitech C270, is the light supposed to turn green on the webcam when you turn on the robot? Our webcam doesn't(but it does when you use it on a computer).

Many thanks! Can't wait to start building the actual robot!
In your robot code, you have to use the CameraServer class, which will stream the images from your camera to your driver station. The robot does not do this by default.
