I am actually not sure if cameras were allowed, but one of our mentors who drove for 217 in 2010 said they weren't. He played many hours of defense against 469, and was talking about some strategies he used to defend against them.

Cameras were allowed in 2010... we had one and it was mounted down to see balls that were blocked by the ramps/bumps. It was vital to finding balls that needed to be cleared out in stopping the dreaded loop..


if I was to replay one I would say 2005. The auto period nobody could do a cap of the green tetra. Nowadays we would see 2x caps.
