Re: Running GRIP from driver station?
We've tested with DS based grip with an IP camera on the bot and it worked smoothly. We used network tables to drive a motor turning the camera as a proof of concept. Definitely do-able.

If you're pushing video to DS, make sure that you are aware of the bandwidth you're using based upon compression and resolution. FRC has a table to determine bandwith based upon compression, resolution and frame rate. Additionally, even though you get 7mbps on your wifi, the same FRC document points out that packet latency spikes after using 6mbps.
