There have been questions in the Q&A system before, such as "Can we use headphones to keep in contact with team members up in the stands?" The answer was no, because you were getting an unfair advantage in that they could see all the developing action that is tough to see from the driver station.

Another question was "Can drivers stand on a stool to have a better view of the field?" the answer here was also no.

Keeping in line with those answers, I'd be willing to bet that if you asked if you could have a screen in the driver's station showing the feed from the camera on your robot, the answer is no, for all the reasons I listed above.

The CMUcam isn't a camera that is used to transmit video but rather it gives a digital output so a microcontroller can process the data. It would require a lot of programming to accomplish very little with the CMUcam but it is not a video camera that can wirelessly transmit video like most people here think.
