I did get to witness the on-board camera used in Toronto during 2005 regional, but still think that it should NOT have been permitted at all during an actual match......

Having two "fixed" camera angles plus the two high-goal camera angles will give the video producers plenty to do to get the point of th egame across to the audience.
I'm curious about your reasoning for being so adamant about "no cameras for any reason" during a match. Our camera was a record to SD card device so there was no issue with interference or alternate controll mechanism. My thought is that it falls into the category of "decoration" with respect to its mounting on the robot during competition.
