We were wondering about this as well.

GDC responded with:
"A. There is no legislated maximum height of the OPERATOR CONSOLE. However, be aware that some venues and production setups may have basketball hoops, lighting fixtures, or other installments that can not be moved and may inhibit exceptionally tall OPERATOR CONSOLES. Also, please keep safety in mind when moving and setting up tall OPERATOR CONSOLES like this."

So we were testing out some poles... I think concluding to this ruling,
This would be legal?

It's not the final product, but this looks like it should work. We're planning to use a flash stand and an umbrella flash bracket to extend the Microsoft lifecam webcam up 10ft. The feed will be live on the driver station laptop. We are not sending the feed to the driver station itself and not to the FMS. It will be live locally on the driver station laptop.

As long as it meets the Operator Console dimensions?
"R94 The OPERATOR CONSOLE must not exceed 60 in. long by 14 in. deep (excluding any items that
are held or worn by the DRIVERS during the MATCH)."
