I completely disagree. The camera feed on our driver station was extremely important to us this year. We played several matches without it, and it made it extremely hard for our driver to line up a shot, and I am very confident we are not the only ones to rely on a camera this year. Although I understand there are connection issues, taking a brute force approach and taking away something that teams use is a little absurd. I am sure that we can find a solution that works for everyone.
