- You cannot currently run GRIP on a driver station with a USB cam plugged into the roboRIO. This is because the roboRIO uses a non-standard protocol to stream data to the dashboard. This protocol is pretty simple, so we might add support for it soon. The reason we haven't yet is mostly because this method is inefficient and results in lower frame rates, but it's also the cheapest method in terms of hardware.

Thanks. Perfectly answers the question. (At least until the next question.)
