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.

I don't have time to find the rule right now, but in the past this has been a BIG no no. Any cameras on the robot were required to be approved by the head inspector (I think?), and ABSOLUTELY could not transmit data to the player station.
