The the problem with the camera idea is the cost of doing so - real-time video streams off of four robots running on a wireless network to displays in front of the drivers would cost a lot and increases the risk of having a technical problem cause the driver to lose control during a match. Also, although some level of distortion in front of the driver might not cause too much trouble, too much distortion and you have a safety issue where the driver can't see to drive.
