You are specifically prohibited from feeding video back to the player station. IIRC, you can have a camera which provides a video source to the arena video system (the big screen) with the permission of the event organizers, but not in any way that would giv your team a strategic advantage.

You can however use a laptop for a dashboard display, as long as no data travels from the laptop to the robot (it can travel from robot to laptop).
