Are you asking if you can transmit data from the camera to a laptop in the drivers station?
If so, the answer is yes, PROVIDED that you meet the following conditions:
- All transmissions must use the radio modem.
- The laptop must be part of the OI and on internal batteries.
- The camera must be powered by the robot battery.
- Cost requirements are met
Doing it this way means that the camera is a sensor. If you fail to meet all of the conditions, then the inspectors will ask you to modify the design, as the rules have been violated. Also see
this thread.
