Re: Is the suggested Vision Camera setup ILLEGAL?!

An interesting question - Especially when you consider that the camera itself might be able to cause the servo to move even if the robot is disabled. The servo motor will have power, and I'm pretty confident that a sufficiently clever FIRSTer could hack the camera board (in a legal way, of course) to cause the servo to move (!) when the robot should be disabled.

Has anyone tried this to see if it's possible?
