Re: Go-Pro on Robot

To sum up and add to the understanding...
Go-Pro or any other recording camera can be used on the robot provided it does meet all other rules. That is to say, it must be weighed with the robot, it must be securely mounted (tape is not a fastener) so it won't fly off and damage other robots or personnel. Video can be used for promotional material for the team, but it may not be used to raise questions about ref calls or to attempt to influence decisions made on the field. It may contain a battery or be powered from the robot and it must not have wireless communications. If wireless can not be turned off, it will not pass inspection.
Yes, it can make some really interesting video. Be sure to select a zoom that won't be so close up that any movement will make your viewers nauseous. nothing kills a good vibe faster than bio-hazard spills in the viewing room.
