Hi mechanicalbrain,
thanks ever so much for that link to supercircuits.com for their 2.4GHz "spy" camera to mount onto the robot. I want to get one instead of clamping my vidfeo camera to our 'bot during build season......

Having an on-board camera could be a great training aid as well as a fun view to use for our highlights video.

However, as someone else pointed out, cameras DURING actual FIRST events need to be pre-approved.
<R103> Any decorations that involve broadcasting a signal to/from the robot, such as remote cameras, must be cleared with FIRST Engineering prior to use. Teams may not use 900 MHz camera systems.

Personally, I would like to see this clarified to NOT allow any sort of camera at all DURING any official match, even if it's being transmitted to a DVR in the stands for training. Use during the build season is fine, just not during matches. As an example, what if a driver was to wear "stealth" video sunglasses that DID capture & show the video that was "meant" to go to the stands....Or what if someone in the stands was watching the on-board video and then yelling instructions to the drivers.....

Not fair nor in the spirit of FIRST......My opinion alone.......
