Onboard Live Feeds from Robots?
Do you think it would be cool if FIRST included a first-legal camera to mount on your robot which would provide live feeds from the robot to the main display and webcast during competition? Or perhaps for review/replay later for judging/reffing/entertainment purposes?

Something like the in-car views that NASCAR has, to be shown on the main monitor/webcast as the whole view or maybe an inset or something. If wireless network cameras were used it would make it possible for the 6 video feeds from robots to be selected individually... I'm sure X10 or something like that would gladly give the cameras to first for a good price (maybe free) in return for some advertisement at first events.

what do you think?
