Re: Onboard Live Feeds from Robots?

I think the idea of an inboard camera would be a great idea for FIRST robotics mainly because in the real scheme of things, how many robots (besides FIRST robots) move with a driver looking at them from 20 feet away? I think it would be great to see a game that had the driver stations covered up so the drivers couldn't see the field and they had to rely on the camera for feedback only. Bomb squad robots and the robots the drive on planets are all driven with camera feedback to the driver. This can also make programming the robot much more intensive giving the programmers a harder time and making the robot more of a robot than an RC car.
