The event staff had to force everyone to turn off their camera streaming. Probably not relevant to most regionals but if you're reading this thread, it's probably a good idea to talk to other teams at your regional to see if this issue has happened before. If so, it's best not to rely on the camera feed.

The rules say that you can use 7Mbit/s. If you stream large images at high bitrates, then yes, it will cause field lag, and the FTAA will notice and tell you to fix your camera settings or turn it off. If you stream small images at low bitrates, you'll be fine. See the
FMS whitepaper for details.
Last year, we had two 160x120 streams at 10fps, and had no issues reported.
