Re: Possibility of using a Bluetooth camera on FRC 2017 Steamworks robot

If you're just looking to send a feed, a low res feed from a USB camera plugged directly into the RoboRIO is pretty easy to do. My team did this last year, and it worked out pretty well. If you're programming in Java, it's quite easy to acquire a camera feed from the USB camera and display it on the SmartDashboard (there's some great steps/explanation on the WPI screensteps).

Once it's on the dashboard, you can also add crosshairs or any transparency you want (or just go low tech and put tape on the screen).
