We didnt have access to the feed though. Sometimes they'd put it up on the big screen when you got an interesting perspective. We had to make sure that it was not on a frequency that conflicted with any field elements, and that it fit size and weight constraints.

If you're asking to put it on there so drivers can view the feed on a monitor and see something that would normally be obstructed from their view, help line up the bot with something, or any other reason to give your team an advantage, the answer is going to be no.
What I meant was to write a program in C and use the camera as a sensor - not to transmit video. The point of this would be to use robot vision to try and accomplish the tasks.
