- For purposes of seeing what's going on in the other side of the field, are we allowed to connect the feed from the robot's camera to a monitor in our driver's control panel?
- Are we allowed to pull the opposing alliance's ringers of a "leg"? Or are we only allowed to manipulate their spoilers?
- Is the coach allowed to have a laptop/tabelt pcs/palm pilots with him when he is with the drivers during a match?
Thanks,

Your second and third questions are specifically addressed in the Game and Robot section of the rules (since I encourage you to read this thoroughly and completely, I won't point you to the exact rule number). As a hint, I will tell you that the camera as it comes in the kit cannot transmit a video signal and a
custom circuit would need to be created to do so. Your other questions may be there as well, but if they aren't they should be directed towards the official Q&A forum for an official answer. Any answer you get here that isn't directly quoting a rule from the manual should be considered speculation.
