There is a rule (don't know the number off-hand) that says you can't have any RF communication to the player station. Also, you can't run wires from the robocoach station to the player station (that's due to the size limitations). Therefore, if you had a camera at the robocoach station, there's no way of sending that video signal back to the driver.
