Re: Can Wireless Video Cameras Be Used?

If on board cameras to internal media were mounted during competition matches, they should have been included in your robot weight. No matter what wireless frequency or modulation is used, the system must be cleared with FIRST before the competition. AND the main battery and the backup battery can be the only electrical power source on the robot.
<R51> The only legal main source of electrical energy on the robot is the 12VDC non-spillable lead acid battery
provided in the Kit of Parts. That 12V battery is the Exide type EX18-12. The ES18-12 battery, purchased
through your local Exide supplier as a spare, is identical and may also be used. You may use other equivalent
type 12V batteries, but only during the Thursday practice rounds.
The 7.2v “backup” battery is considered an integral part of the Robot Controller, and may not be used for any
other purpose.
