Re: creating your own HUD YAAAAY!!!

There is a rule, or Q&A that very specifically says you cannot be receiving the feed from any camera systems on a robot, in the driver's station. If you were to do so, it no longer is a "non functional decoration" and must follow all the other rules.

It's fairly clear why you can't do this--it puts other teams at a competitive disadvantage. This is exactly the same as trying to use a walkie talkie/cell phone in the driver's station to communicate with someone with a better field of view up in the stands--it isn't allowed.

Even if nobody can find the specific rule, unless something major happens that the rules change next year (They probably won't) you won't be allowed to use your "HUD" in competition.

Here's the rule:

<R53> Custom Circuits may not: Be used for wireless communication, such as sending or receiving a signal to and/or from the alliance station
